So I recently found out that my monitor can support up to 75hz. I've heard that there is a notable difference between 75 and 60 so I thought I'd switch. As soon as I did that, mouse movements, and anything on-screen seems choppy. If I load up TF2, I get 60+ FPS but I notice that the game is choppy. Is this a sign that I should get new hardware or are there more setting that I need to change so my monitor stops being choppy?
Choppy Monitor at 75hz

Just get a 120hz, they aren't even that expensive anymore. Black Friday and cyber Monday are coming. Good deals will be out there.

my old monitor had the same thing, dunno why it was dumb as shit

Just in case I get a 120hz, are there any computer specs that are needed to run it? I have a fairly old comp so I just want to be sure.

Normally your fps should be at around your refresh rate x2 +1 so get a computer that can run tf2 at 240 fps, and cap it at fps_max 241.

Mine does this too, however I just readjusted the angle it was pointed at (north south angle) and it worked like a charm. I occasionally notice it at different angles (ex: when standing up) but it is fine during gameplay.

So this could be a variety of things
1. You're not getting 75+fps
2. Your monitor does not Support 75Hz at your current resolution and or cable. Most 75Hz monitors only do 75Hz with VGA cable at or below 1440 x 900.
3. Perhaps you forgot to restart your PC, I have had some Video Card issues in the past if I didn't restart my PC after changing Refresh rates. Though that shouldn't happen, it did for me and might be happening for you.
btw the difference between 75Hz and 60Hz isn't as huge as you might think, I remember when I switch my monitor from 60Hz to 75Hz I actually completely forgot about it and the next day I was like "Did valve patch the game things seem a bit smoother." It wasn't a big difference but was noticeable, but only barely.

You're going to need a system that can easily do 120fps+, 160+ to be on the safe side. You'll also need a Video Card with a DVI-I slot (basically any modern video card, and even a lot of the older ones)

Have you tried setting it to 70Hz instead? My secondary 60Hz monitor runs well at 70Hz (1080p), but not at 75Hz (full screen artifacts, bad quality, etc.).

Even though the monitor accepts a 75Hz refresh rate, it's probably updating the screen only 60 times per second, which would lead to the problems you're describing.
