offcourse u can't differentiate between refresh rates of 59Hz and 60Hz as the difference is only one hertz.

refresh rate means how many times ur screen gets refreshed in 1 second. 60 Hz refresh rate mean it gets refreshed 60 times in 1 second and 59 Hz refresh rate means it gets refreshed 59 times in a second.Human eyes can't distinguish such a small difference.u will see noticeable difference when u go up to 70Hz or 75Hz or higher depending upon the resolution.

the higher the refresh rate the better!

out of personal curiosity why do u want to know the difference between the refresh rate of 59 Hz and 60Hz ????
