    Nah, some people just notice it more, some less. I always upset my friends when they show me their 165Hz monitors or their 4k screens and I’m like “Oh is it? I wouldn’t have noticed.” 🤷 Happens. In return I always notice immediately if an icon is badly or lazily made.

      Honestly it’s one of those things that aren’t all that impressive at first glance, but if you use it for a while THEN go back to 60hz it hurts

        Precisely this. I didn’t notice it much when I started using it, but I switch between phones frequently for software development, and I definitely feel the difference. It’s nice, but it’s not a life-changing difference. It’s just a difference.

      I find that I’m always perfectly happy with my current monitor or phone screen, until I see something better. Ignorance is bliss. For this reason, I deliberately try to never see any better screens, this way I always seem to remain endlessly impressed by my 75 quid Philips 1080p panel!

      There’s also the group of people who easily notice it but don’t really care. Like I see that it’s different, but it’s not better to me.
