Torn between 120Hz and QHD

[miamiborn79]

As the title suggests, I am super torn between deciding what will be my default. The120Hz is buttery smooth, but I really had no complaints with the 60Hz refresh rate. The drop-off between QHD and FHD is not as dramatic as I thought it would be, partly because this screen is so bright (definitely brighter than my Note 10+ is) but it's definitely noticeable. The screen is (for me) the important feature ever since my first Android phone. It just sucks having to chose either or. Either gimp the display, or gimp the refresh rate... Not sure what I will ultimately chose. I'm going to give both a fair shot and decide which I'm willing to give up. Wonder how everyone else feels about it?

I don't notice the difference in the resolution but I most certainly do notice the difference in 120hz

I don’t think i could ever go back to 60hz

It's amazing how noticeable the difference is.

This 100%. 120hz is just stunning! Can't even tell the difference between FHD and QHD. No brainer. Go with 120hz

This right here. I be will going with the 120 as that is what I notice and enjoy

Yes very very big difference to me I'll stay on 120.

I'm coming from the S20 ultra which just has 120. I'm a little nervous of this adaptive120 on the note series

Why you nervous curious?

120hz over WQHD+ for me, no brainer. The 120hz over 60hz is a night and day difference, the WQHD+ over FHD+ not so much.

Just nervous I'm used to full 120 and Samsung's auto stuff will gimp it

Supposedly it only gimps it where it doesn't matter. Hopefully they tuned it properly.

Definitely choose the 120hz from my experiences you will enjoy that more than the bump down in screen

 

[bobxxz]

120hz for sure. The only time I notice the screen is at 1080P is when I am playing games. It definitely isn't as sharp as QHD.

 

[mountainman]

Going to be completely honest. I was switching back and forth between 60 and Adaptive (120), and I can't really tell a difference in scrolling. I left it at Adaptive for now.

I always had my Note 8 at Quad HD for the whole time. But now that I am running the N20U at HD+, I really can't tell the difference.

Ok, I thought I would have this same query but after seeing what 120hz does... I'm sold. Everything is so buttery smooth it's almost fake. Like when you saw a 60fps video for the first time haha

I have said this before but I absolutely see zero difference between high refresh rate screens and ones without them. Moving between various phones I have zero problem adjusting, probably a blessing that I can't make out difference

But still what the heck I keep it at 120 hz, I could start using another phone without 120 hz and have zero problems adjusting to it. And this isn't my first 120 hz or high refresh rate experience, I have had plenty of them and every time I have had the same experience.

Maybe you have adaptive eyesight

120hz reduced battery life on the S20 Ultra around 20%, unless they managed to change that on the Note 20 Ultra I wouldn't use it. There are still a lot of apps that don't support it, video and games don't support it, it's a drain on battery just to have a smoother UI and browsing experience.

I think it's time to visit a optometrist lol
