I have a Studio Display and would also love if it had a much higher refresh rate, but only because I play WoW on it. Why isn't 60hz enough for programming? I don't think I notice the refresh rate at all when not playing a video game or watching videos.

When I move my mouse, or if I'm moving between full screens (terminal to IDE to browser), I see the stutter and slowness.

I code on a LG UltraGear OLED 4K HDR 240 Hz Gaming Monitor.

Could be my sensitivity though.

  • I'm personally not very sensitive to refresh rates, I only really notice it in video games and it wasn't enough to keep me from replacing my 120hz primary monitor with the Studio Display. I was just curious about why you prefer higher refresh rate for programming, thanks for answering!

    Sounds like it is not maintaining 60 fps. Higher display refresh rate wouldn't fix that.
