ASUS has demonstrated the first 300 Hz laptops, after ASUS and others debuted 240 Hz laptops earlier in the year:

Designed specifically for hardcore gamers and esports professionals on the go, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701 will be the world's first notebook with a display supporting up to 300 Hz refresh rate and a 3 ms GtG response time. This machine will be available already in October, 2019. In addition, similar LCDs with a 300 Hz refresh rate and a 3 ms GtG response time will be featured on a prototype ROG Zephyrus S GX502 as well as on the 15-inch and 17-inch models of the ROG Strix Scar III.

ASUS does not disclose the maker of its 300 Hz/3 ms display panels, though it is highly likely that the company uses panels with a 240 Hz native refresh rate in overdrive mode. What is noteworthy is that production 240 Hz ROG Zephyrus S GX701 and ROG Zephyrus S GX502 will feature factory-calibrated displays with Pantone Validation, so in addition to gamers, these machines will also be appreciated by professionals who use color-critical applications.

    As I understand it, the first TV shows to start using higher refresh rates were things like soap operas. For reasons that are unrelated to logic, a higher frame rate was somehow associated with 'bad quality' entertainment in the minds of the general public. So Hollywood deliberately stays with 24 FPS because the public 'knows' that is used in good quality movies.
