One thing you do all the time on computers is moving your mouse. And 240hz doubles how smooth that is.

Sounds boring, I know, but honestly the thing I love most out of my 280 monitor is how nice and snappy the mouse moves around. It's neat.

You are right that this is one of the easiest ways to notice the low frame rate of a monitor.

It is very easy to move the mouse cursor across the screen in less than 100 ms, in which case on a standard 60 Hz monitor you will see less than 6 images of the mouse cursor jumping across the screen, instead of a continuous movement.
