- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI'd assume because there's little need for higher framerate displays. Videos are usually 30fps at the max, your cursor doesn't need to blink that fast, and games are perfectly playable at 60fps.
- seanalltogether 14y agosmoother scrolling, smoother zooming, smoother gameplay, yes even smoother video playback for 24 fps videos.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoMany applications (like Chrome, for instance) don't support smooth scrolling as it is, let alone 120hz smooth scrolling.
- jordanthoms 14y agogo to chrome://flags and turn on smooth scrolling, It's much better
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThanks; didn't know about that. Works great! :)
- sp332 14y agoBecause LCDs have much better persistence of vision than old CRTs? On CRTs, I would sacrifice resolution to get to a minimum 85 Hz refresh, because 60 was unusable and gave me headaches. But 60 updates per second on an evenly-lit LCD screen is pretty tolerable. That said, more precise motion would be awfully nice!
