I think they’re mostly talking about regular video, in which case 60 is generally fine. Heck, 30 is usually fine. But I agree that in video games anything below 120 is downright painful
Depends on the human, there was an article many years ago from a proper science study, some peoples internal vision refresh brain clock speed doesn’t get more info with the super higher refresh.
I can tell that 90 is smoother than 60 just slightly, but when it involves large motion across the screen like at the movie theatre my brain doesn’t process the spots in between and I end up seeing static snapshots. it becomes nauseating, so for a scene I know will have a speedy side to side motion I end up looking down. And it is not the saccade phenomenon, because it happens even if I have a focal point on screen to not move my eyes of off.
I definitely don’t play with anything near 120 and it doesn’t bother me. I suppose it’s something that once you start paying attention to you notice haha.
60 isn’t fine
I played Half Life at 15 fps back then, and I can tell you that 60 fps is mostly fine.
My next monitor will still be 144 or more though.

Yes this…panning shots at 24fps literally make me nauseous.

Yeah, you’re just used to it.
And my wallet is no doubt thankfully for it. As long as my old GTX1660 keeps chugging on I’ll keep gaming at ?Hz on my ???p monitor lol
When you regularly start playing at >120hz you definitely notice when stuff is playing at lower than 60hz
Like it sounds snobby but I can’t play stuff at lower than 100hz ish otherwise I somehow get motion sick from it
Then why has it been the standard for almost 50 years?
Because we didn’t have as good technology for higher framerates
Not only do you need better screens, but also faster processing speeds
60 is fine, and its cuz we used the wall power 60 hz as a clock since it was extremely stable and free.
