I'm extremely sensitive to Input Lag, and anyone who claims they cant tell the difference between 60hz refresh and 120hz refresh must be brain damaged. I've gone out of my way to keep on to my CRT monitor as they have 0 input lag, and better refresh rates with deeper blacks and way higher resolutions. What I can't understand is how everyone has for YEARS, uncontested, accepted the horrible refresh rates, input lag, and color depth of LCD monitors. Even on this forum, which is primarily gamer and performance enthusiasts. People claim "oh CRT's are so heavy!" ... REALLY? are you spending the majority of your time carrying yours around? because mine sits on my desk... Then to add on to the BS, these companies advertise things like G-Sync and 1080p as if they are awesome features. But it's really just a brand name for something that has been around for years. V-SYNC, which adds, mind you, to your overall input lag! Wow, 1080p eh? That's pretty impressive, my 16 year old monitor only does 2048x1536 at 100hz ... but yeah 1080 yeah that's REALLY GREAT! Manufacturers flood the market with made up terminology and misleading specs and names for those specs to confuse and trick buyers. But in actuality they are putting lipstick on a pig. Not to mention that the current state of LCD's are moving away from the sample and hold method, which they have actually learned causes more strain on your eyes than the dark phase method of the CRT. Anyways, my point is, and I expect a bunch of un-intelligent flame, it's been 20 years. Why the hell haven't we gotten away from 60hz being the norm and horrendous input-lag. I expect answers about "it's a different technology!" OK, that's true, but that's really no excuse. And perhaps with my question, I'm revealing my own answer, and probably relevant answer to this. The industry is money driven and they will milk every "feature" until the last drop. Meaning they purposely progress slowly because there is no money in jumping advancements. It's more profitable to progress slowly. And everyone eats it up. Consumers don't always drive the best product to being the most popular.
