> I don’t notice going back to 60 Hz displays on computers. However, on phones, where a lot more animations are a key part of the user experience, I think 120 Hz displays are more interesting.

I'm always so jealous of these people, 60hz is just so bad for me now and even make me a bit motion sick.

I can see it in everything, moving the window, scrolling, the cursor.

Same. I currently have a 160hz and a 240hz monitor. And I can tell the difference between them when scrolling pages with tons of text.

There's less ghosting in 240hz.

And scrolling on 60hz to me looks blurry.

I'd like to think that those who don't notice the difference have improved brain GPUs that can compensate for ghosting.

Wait until you try an OLED computer monitor, that screws with the "higher refresh rate => less ghosting" thought process completely.

Oh yeah I have an Oled LG C4 TV with 120hz refresh rate.

Can't go back to non-oleds.
