alt Hacker NewsWe had CRT displays that could easily do 100 to 120 Hz. Then we regessed to LCD panels that could do 60 Hz and it somehow became the performance target.

Had a Samtron 15" and the LCD that replaced it was very washed out. Commercial users in India kept them for 15+ years.

I mean CRT is inherently bulky, it's hard not to see why LCD panels became popular.

After 15 minutes at crt my eyes were watering, not so for lcd
Now that you mention it, 60Hz was considered poor on a CRT. 85 was the target.
But that was because of flicker. AFAIK, 60Hz video frame rate was considered acceptable, but on a CRT the video frame rate was also the flicker rate and 60Hz was too low for flicker.
