Wow, after using a nice 120hz OLED screen on a laptop I do feel a little like I've been ruined. Less noticeable than on a phone because PC UIs are much more static, but man does this feel *nice*

@Techaltar Humm... That puzzles me I've had several fast paced monitors (now 165 Hz) and 120 Hz iPhone and I barely perceive the difference. No matter UI or gaming wise, Windows or Linux... you name it. Yes, there's an observable difference but perfect 60 fps animation is already very very fluid in my (not too hampered, I hope) view!
-
@Techaltar I'm very much tempted to get the new 120Hz screen for my @frameworkcomputer Laptop 13 but I can't justify spending money on a new display when mine is perfectly fine lol.
Plus, I feel like once I get one 120Hz display, everything else will look choppy haha

@Techaltar same, and it's been incredible for HDR photo editing once I calibrated things. The frequent panel maintenance is frustrating for day to day use though.
-
@Techaltar which OS? Many Windows animations seem to run at like 20fps so I'm not sure it would make a difference
-
@Geniusak W11. Seems to run fine, but also just scrolling around is very noticeable to me
-
@tiff what kind of maintenance?
-
@tedgravlin @frameworkcomputer It very well might! Also, it's a noticeable drain on the battery, so I'd only take it if you have a very efficient chip or don't need to prioritize battery life
-
@dm29 I'm sure this is one of those things that you either perceive or don't. I know many people couldn't care less. Meanwhile I clearly remember my gf picking up the first Pixel with a 90hz screen in a random shop without any concept of it being high refresh rate and immediately exclaiming that it felt weirdly smooth. Depends on the person I guess, count yourself lucky!

@Techaltar it's not desktop that is static, it's windows that is poorly animated. Linux desktops with Gnome or KDE Plasma look much better than windows as well as Qt and GTK apps look much better than an average windows app which feel as if they are stuck in the 90s

@alihan_banan Not what I meant. On a desktop I spend way more time looking at a static page like a website or a document where only small parts of the screen show any movement. On a phone I scroll basically all the time, so motion and refresh rate are much more noticeable
