    I used to have a screen with that refresh and when I was tired and tried to read anything on it, my eyes would, like, vibrate? Like visual stuttering. Not a fun experience. Upgraded to a 60hz and that’s the minimum I’d ever consider for any use now.

    So yep, definitely not true.

    I also prefer 4k for crisp text for similar reasons (e.g. game text). It might not matter for your average movie, but it matters for a lot of normal use if you don’t want to strain your eyes.

      When I moved to 144hz it was a huge improvement again, and then 240hz on top of that is so much more fluid. It’s hard to use 60 sometimes let alone consoles running at 30
