This is not true. I remember playing Q2 on a server and wondering why it felt so jerky. Turns out the server was limiting the fps to 80. This was slower than the 100fps that I'm used to. This was essentially a blind test, because I didn't know the server had a limit on the fps, but I could see the difference.
In these discussions, I never hear mention of the monitor size. A larger monitor means a bigger physical difference between frames, so wouldn't it be more noticeable. I doubt I would have noticed a difference on my old 15" monitor between 80 and 100fps, but I do on my 19".

Why not just overtype the Server in the control panel?
