    I think they’re mostly talking about regular video, in which case 60 is generally fine. Heck, 30 is usually fine. But I agree that in video games anything below 120 is downright painful

      I definitely don’t play with anything near 120 and it doesn’t bother me. I suppose it’s something that once you start paying attention to you notice haha.

        When you regularly start playing at >120hz you definitely notice when stuff is playing at lower than 60hz

        Like it sounds snobby but I can’t play stuff at lower than 100hz ish otherwise I somehow get motion sick from it

      Depends on the human, there was an article many years ago from a proper science study, some peoples internal vision refresh brain clock speed doesn’t get more info with the super higher refresh.

      I can tell that 90 is smoother than 60 just slightly, but when it involves large motion across the screen like at the movie theatre my brain doesn’t process the spots in between and I end up seeing static snapshots. it becomes nauseating, so for a scene I know will have a speedy side to side motion I end up looking down. And it is not the saccade phenomenon, because it happens even if I have a focal point on screen to not move my eyes of off.
