Totally agree. Huge difference when moving windows or gaming on a 120 Hz or higher monitor. So smooth.
Never noticed.
I notice the difference between 60 an 72hz but only after a few hours when i either get or don't have a headache from using 60hz. Visually I see no difference.
Honestly you will. You probably never compared the two side by side.
It's incredibly apparent, you think it's smooth but then when you go over to 120 Hz and then go back the difference is very apparent.
The forbidden comparaison.
People live happily untill they do it. Than .... Than they can't ever go back . It's a curse.
Don't taste the forbidden fruit
I had a 980ti for AGES that could do 120hz at 1080. got a big 4k screen, immediately had to upgrade the gpu because it wouldn't do 4k at anything higher than 60hz. even moving the mouse across the screen felt sluggish.
You have never noticed the difference between 60 and 120hz?
When I tried a game that had a 120hz mode, I had to lower the quality a little to get it work well, but didn't notice a big difference, but there was a difference.
A few days later I went back to 60hz so i could increase the graphics quality , and the difference was crazy huge. I had to go back to 120hz.
60 and 240hz, yes I had it setup correctly.
120hz on my 4k 75in TV. Didn't bother connecting it to WiFi. It's a dumb TV now
So important that my windows move smoothly, right?
Just like my entire system. Smooth.
Seeing the spinning wheel loading screen makes me cry. Not because it lasts long, but because it isn't smooth!
