    What kind of apps? I don’t think you’d really see much change with simple 2D interfaces. But video or things rendered in 3D real time will most definitely be noticable.

    On a 2D interface, the most noticable thing would be scrolling. Scrolling is much smoother with a higher refresh rate. Just scroll through these comments switching between 60 and 120. Guarantee you’d notice.

        That is true. Sports are sometimes digitslly broadcast at higher frame rates, though. I’ve seen some Sharks games at 90+ and now it just looks awful when I see hockey at 60 or less on TV.
