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?

I can’t even be bothered with 4k, never mind this. I guess least it gives them something to do…

1 KHz is the physiological limit. IIRC it's just not feasible for you to discern events at any finer resolution.

Above 240 Hz does sound like mere bragging rights... if you expect to fill all those frames. The FreeSync / GSync approach is to display any new frame the moment it is ready, as soon and as quickly as possible. That's going to remain important for VR tech and will become noticeable as soon as consoles bother using the damn option. You can make 40 FPS feel butter-smooth by drastically reducing latency and eliminating frame-pacing.

Seriously, Nintendo - the Switch has its own screen. Turn on the damn sync features.

Of course, what I'd LIKE screens to pursue is lightfield technology. Stereo is a cute gimmick. Gimme the damn holograph tech. Take your 8K, 16K, 32K screens, and stick a little lens on each cluster of pixels, so there's like 1440p of metapixels that look different based on viewing angle. Make the screen act like looking through a screen door.

I just want my low key input to display latencies in games and I'll be happy with as low as 40 fps. Unless it's vr then I also need way more stuff than I can afford like 140+hz, lenses and fov something something, panel tech something also, etc. in order to not get sick

My screen is still the same 144hz. How do you make it go faster?

I still use a 75hz desktop and 60hz on my Laptop. I can’t tell the difference.

Even looking at the iPhone 15 pro next to a 15 looks the same to me.

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.

Honestly as funny as it is I've been able to notices differences between 120 - 144 hz displays pretty consistently
