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.

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.

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.
