My guess is that few people have stopped to compare them. I've never knowingly seen a 100+hz screen in person, so I stopped by a local store. Sure enough, I could tell that the motion was smoother. Bought 2. After using those, I can feel my older monitors that I'm using to write this are choppy.

But do you notice the smoothness in the day to day basis or have you, in a way, crippled yourself, because now the majority of monitors feel choppy to you?

Sounds a bit like the, 'Never meet your heroes', thingy.

I 100% notice it but interestingly it doesn’t affect me on my laptop/desktop much since I use a mouse and scrolling is already not smooth. While mobile has smooth scrolling and a lot more animations/swipes.

Do you think that besides gaming there really any need to move to higher then 60Hz on desktops and laptops?

My phone (POCO X3 PRO) allowed me to turn on 120Hz but when I do I don't notice any change except if I really look at it, like scrolling up and down very quickly while looking behind the phone I notice a difference, but otherwise I don't notice it, so I just have it turned off, should give more battery life.
