John Linneman from Digital Foundry made a great point about refresh rates (or framerates in his context). Lower refresh rates generally is perceived as way worse when you often switch around between high and low refresh rates. Case in point if you change from 60hz to 120hz and move your mouse etc. you will definitely feel that its way smoother, and 60hz would feel extremely sluggish. But if you just stuck with the 60hz for a while eventually you will perceive it as smooth again. They use the example of 30fps seemingly feeling very bad when you keep switching between Quality and Performance mode on console games, but 30fps is actually okay for many instances. Of course 60fps will feel smoother no matter what, but the point is is that the difference is heightened when you switch back and forth.
