I recently got a 144Hz monitor for my new PC. I've set it to run at 144Hz through Windows desktop (as well as through my games), and it works great. I can see a clear difference between 60 and 144Hz.
However, do videos and movies take advantage of the 144Hz? I've streamed a couple HD movies off Amazon video in the past couple days, and they don't look like they're taking advantage of my monitor's refresh rate at all. I even put in The Dark Knight Rises, which is the most recent and high quality blu-ray movie I own, and I couldn't tell any difference (although I only had it in for less than a minute, so maybe I didn't have enough time to see anything major).
Anyways, my question is ultimately this: will videos, streamed HD movies, and blu-ray discs take advantage of a refresh rate higher than 60Hz on a PC? If so, is there anything I need to do on my end to make sure they do?
If it matters, this is my Blu-Ray drive:

And I'm using display port to connect to my GPU.
