I keep hearing this all the time, and I think this is an absolutely massive overstatement that you cannot go back to 60 hz after experiencing high refresh rates.

My personal experience is that I do notice the difference - for like a minute - and then I adjust and never care anymore.

Yeah, we're talking more like reducing the amount of sugar in your tea hard, not quitting heroin hard.

As an experiment I put my phone into 60Hz after posting this comment. 5 hours later I've remembered. I didn't notice.

Strangely enough, I can't use a sub-120hz phone anymore, but I have no problems using my 60hz laptop or 75hz desktop monitor. Maybe the different form factors let people compartmentalize their experiences.
