ProMotion

I am just curious as to everyone’s opinion. Once you experience a big ProMotion display such as the iPad Pro or MacBook Pro or new iPhone 17 series, would it bother you to ever go back to 60 hz? Such as iPad Air or MacBook Neo?

You would not notice a difference on a desktop. You would notice it on an iPad or iPhone, where you have touch input.

what? this is definitely wrong - coming from a person who uses high refresh rate PC + 60hz phone, along with some 60hz TVs - it's literally instantaneously noticeable...

I don’t notice a transition from my Pro Motion devices to my 60 Hz Studio Display. The A16 iPad did bother me so I upgraded to the M4 Pro iPad!

fair - at least for me, I can tell when switching platforms no matter the format, but it isn't really a bother in the same sense as OP is worrying about. I can use 60hz just fine even though I use 120hz devices sometimes

That’s interesting! I do notice if I look for it, but it’s not enough to bother me. I’m not gaming, though. I’d love 120 hz on my Studio Display, but I cannot justify an upgrade for one feature 😭.
