I don't really mind. 90hz is my sweet spot. It feels smooth enough and I'm not unnecessarily taxing my hardware for comparatively little improvements.
The only valid complaint I see is that 120hz is a little more versatile because it divisible by 24 and 30, while 90hz is only divisible by 30. So not as good for content that runs at 24fps. But even then, I still don't mind, I don't notice any presentation issues.
What?
I think he meant that the Apple tax is higher for the HW if it had higher refresh rate
More frames = more GPU usage = more power usage = more noise (if you have a fan).
I'm just saying that 90hz is a sweet spot for me. Sure, I can feel that higher refresh rates are smoother, but 90hz is simply enough for me.
