I've got no dog in this series, but consider LCD monitors greater than 60hz have been around for I'd estimate at least 13-14 years I had a 2233RZ in 2009 - one

I had a 2233RZ in 2009 - one of the first at 120hz. Prior to that 75hz was commonplace.
The modes are presented by the display through EDID.
This is messy at times, but they [Apple] simply need to look there. Windows/Linux respect these just fine.
This is more on Apple than it is the vendors. The only mistake the vendors made was marketing these to the gamer niche. Office work benefits from high refresh rate too
- bzzzt 5y agoYou had a 3d monitor for gaming. You need a high refresh rate for 3d with shutterglasses since you only get half or it for each eye. Office work benefitted in the CRT time when <85Hz would cause perceptible flickering giving you a headache. Since TFT's are slower there's no flickering anymore. Scrolling benefits slightly with higher refresh, and of course the top 10% of gamers will care about the latency, but I don't think I'll be typing any faster on a gaming screen ;)
- bravetraveler 5y agoThe stereoscopic 3D thing was a bit of a fad, haha - truly never used it! The added refresh was intended for games, but I think you're selling it short - RE: office work/the CRT era. I still to this day buy high refresh displays because being able to read content while moving windows/logs are spamming my terminal is a dream It's not about typing faster, it's seeing things more smoothly/clearly while there's activity
