Title says it all (i have turned on 165hz on settings). Its a cheap monitor, do some 165hz monitors not truly give you that experience? Or are my eyes fucked

You’re only going to notice if the thing playing goes up to 165fps. If you’re, say, watching a movie or video you won’t notice anything because there’s nothing to notice.
Play a game that you can get really high FPS in (maybe Half Life 1 which a modern machine should have no trouble getting 300+). Limit it to 60. Check it out. Then go up to 144. Then 165.
Also if you have an nVidia GPU, it may not be setting the refresh rate properly. I constantly have this issue with driver updates resetting it back to 30hz on my machine. You gotta go into the Nvidia control panel, find the display settings and scroll down somewhere toward the bottom is a refresh rate setting. Change that to the highest your display can use.
An addendum to this, the jump between 60 and 120 is not as noticeable outside of dynamic movement so even though you may see a slight difference when looking, unless you use M+K it won’t feel that big. With mouse and keyboard quick mouse adjustments should feel smoother. And this isn’t a knock on FPS over 60, just that the difference between 30 and 60 can feel very big when you snap between them
Let’s not forget that the industry always likes to exxagerate with the goal to sell… IMO refresh rate is the latest victim of “bigger number is BETTER!” marketing.
