    I think you are speaking on some very different use cases than most people.

      Really, what “normal people” use cases are there for a resolution higher than 1080p? It’s perfectly fine for writing code, editing documents, watching movies, etc. If you are able to discern the pixels, it just means you’re sitting too close to your monitor and hurting your eyes. Any higher than 1080p and, at best you don’t notice the difference, at worst you have to use hacks like UI Scaling or non-native resolution to get UI elements to display at a reasonable size.

        You had 30Hz when I read your comment. Which is why I said what I said. Still, there’s a lot of benefit for having a higher refresh rate. As far as user comfort goes.

        Shaper text for reading more comfortably and viewing photos at nearly full resolution. You don’t have to discern individual pixels to benefit from either of these. And small UI elements like thumbnails can actually show some detail.
