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
You would honestly probably be fine after a short while with lower frame rates. Guaranteed you used to game at those slower frame/refresh rates and never knew better.
I absolutely agree there's still benefit to be had above 60, but 60 is still mostly fine. Unless I guess all you do is ultra competitive gaming where twitch reactions are necessary.
