Are manufacturers stuck in a questionable spec war, or are we one day going to wonder how we ever put up with ‘only’ 240Hz displays?
When it comes to my phone, I can tell the difference between 90 and 60 Hz. I prefer 90 Hz but I would be okay with 60. Ideally I’d like the highest refresh rate I can get inside my budget when I have to buy a new device with a screen. One annoying limitation is that all the video is played in 24-60 Hz. I notice it when things move with any kind of speed or when I’m looking at background object and the camera moves.
All things considered, it’s a minor annoyance. My quality of life wouldn’t change if I were limited to 30 Hz.
Now I need to find a 144hz monitor. I’m not gaming outside of my steamdeck and don’t do online, so I don’t care about that. But I’m always working with text.
