If you haven't used high refresh monitor. You probably won't notice the difference. But after you do it once, there is no way to go back. Just like high resolution monitors.
Mouse and scrolling feels so much more smoother on a high refresh rate monitor. To the point if windows messed up the refresh rate, you can instantly feel it.
- Dylan16807 4y agoI have screens running at both 60Hz and 120Hz right now. For mousing, I can see it but I don't care. I even used my main screen at 30Hz for a while, and mousing was fine. For scrolling, I scroll at the click rate of my mouse wheel, which is usually 6-20. With no smoothing applied, because I don't want it, scrolling looks the same on both screens. It's really only games where I care. So don't be so sure about how universal your own preferences are.
- mmis1000 4y ago> I can see it but I don't care. Then you are still able to know the difference since then. You just don't care about it in that use case. (Neither do I. My second monitor is 60fps, and watching video or developing web page on it are totally fine to me) The argument `people won't be able to tell the difference about 60fps and 120fps` only makes sense if you don't have experience about using a high refresh rate monitor.
- Dylan16807 4y agoBut your argument was "after you do it once, there is no way to go back". Unless "go back" was "not know there is a difference, unrelated to whether you care"? Because in the comparison to high resolution, I would never want to go back to 1080p. But refresh rate is whatever to me outside of games.
- selfhoster11 4y agoI personally use smooth scrolling because I find no smoothing more confusing to use. So yeah, scrolling will look different for some people.
