This makes me happy primarily so that people who constantly whine about this will move on to complain about other things that, perhaps, the rest of us can actually see.
i wonder why people find this to be an actually amusing statement to make unironically. it's as if identifying oneself as having seemingly inferior eyesight is something to be proud of, while simultaneously mocking those that do. while furthermore being irritated with people who want this feature, something that wouldn't introduce a negative to their own experience, at all.
let's spit some facts for you:
high refresh rate displays have been around for a long, long time. the personal computing market has up to 360hz displays available at reasonable pricing to consumers. they're generally directed at the competitive gaming segment, but i have stood before a 240hz display and see the crisp difference in simple general, non-gaming applications. 165hz, 144hz, 120hz, 100hz, etc. displays have existed for at least 6 or so years now.
many smartphones that are not iphones have had high refresh rate displays for years now. there is a consumer market for it, and it's (clearly) much larger than you're giving any credit (see: respect) for. yes, there are people on this planet that are not *you*.
this same absurd mockery has been made by a significant segment of the console gaming market for years, mostly because consoles compete for who delivers the best fidelity, which typically requires dropping FPS. so they, much like you, have whined (that thing that irritates you) about people who wanted things as trivial as 60fps in their games more just because they *couldn't* have it.
and now we're seeing the same people begging devs to make 60 and even 120fps work on their titles because now that the hardware is physically capable of it reliably without dropping image quality significantly, they are quite literally seeing the benefit.
there are more than enough tools available right now that will show side by side comparisons about the visual differences between 15, 30, 60, 100, 120, 144, etc. hz. if you had a display in front of you capable of hitting those higher numbers, and you still couldn't see it, then you are either a) in deliberate denial because being right even in the presence of conflicting information *feels* warm and fuzzy or b) you unfortunately actually cannot see it, and that's too bad for you, but being different (incapable) does not afford you the right to mock without prejudice, or exist as a valid reason for the rest of the world abstaining from progress.
call it a gimmick, claim people can't see it, i do not care. it's just absolutely hysterical that you think it's somehow not worthy of implementing, yet the tech industry clearly has been moving on without you for quite some time.
little heads up: we're at the point now where the TV industry has native 120hz panels, not just that promotion fake frame technology.
learn a little bit about the subjects you mock, you might seem less pretentious.
