I have a pretty alright 2-in-1 Galaxy laptop that’s unfortunately only 60fps cause every other 2-1 with an OLED was waaaay pricier. Even the one step up Pro model of the same line was like 2x more expensive here.
Definitely less smooth when moving the cursor or scrolling. Pretty noticeable difference compared to my PC and phone. Not a huge thing if you don’t plan on playing games and watching a bunch 24hz movies on it, but it’s a thing.
60hz is extremely noticeable on a mobile device since the whole UI is gesture based and everything constantly moves around. On computers since the UI is stationary it matters significantly less although it’s definitely nice to have.
My iPhone 15 Pro goes from 120hz to 60hz when I turn low battery mode on, and yes it’s extremely noticeable to me. Scrolling lemmy or a long web page results in noticeable tearing. It’s so bad that I thought it was like 30hz until I looked it up.
On my MacBooks, yeah I’m on a website and/or in a vm on a terminal session 99.9% of the time. It could be locked to 5hz and I wouldn’t much care.
To answer your question in the post though, from what I’ve noticed while gaming on my pc, I don’t perceive any difference between ~90hz/fps and 160hz/fps (limit of my VRR panel). I definitely do notice issues with frame timings. I’d rather lock my frame rate somewhere like 120fps than to hit 160 with inconsistent timings.
If the option is 60 vs 120 hz, I’m gonna need 120hz. I really like that you can match frame rate or manually lower the mbp’s refresh rate, really saves battery life when I’m doing the aforementioned terminal stuff or watching a movie on a plane or something.
