>= 120Hz is great for everything, not just games. Moving your mouse (or scrolling) on a 60Hz monitor after you've used something higher is like looking at a slide show.

For example, on a 60Hz monitoring, try panning around a Google Map and reading the labels. They just become a mushy blur. On a higher refresh-rate display, you can read the labels as they move. (I always found this to be an interesting demo: https://testufo.com/persistence)



Nice website, thanks for linking it. But, it looks like I'm in the minority here - having always worked on 60Hz screen computers and never finding myself wishing for higher refresh rate than a better screen ratio. Perhaps, personally speaking, my priorities are different.

It's not great for battery life.


In the same way, Flagship SoC is great perf but not great for battery so we can choose to buy middle spec SoC.


iPad Pro adjusts dynamically.
