Can’t find an “ask tech” community, so asking here.

Most screens have a refresh rate of at least 60Hz, our storage space is massive, and it hurts to watch videos that have fast moving objects or scenes.

    Maybe a better place to ask would be one of the following places:

    For your question, are you talking about streaming videos? At least on YouTube videos are at 60 fps. The higher the fps, the more bandwidth and space is required on the servers. Therefore YouTube will limit 4k at 60 fps to paying customers. And for the casual smartphone videos, isn’t 30 fps at 4k not the default? People like to have higher resolution, because they don’t understand what fps probably is (I mean the non tech mommies).

    Are you talking about movies? Movies often aren’t filmed at 60 fps, therefore it would be lot of waste to stream them at 60. I’m not sure if this is still true with modern films though. I didn’t keep up with tech much.
