Are manufacturers stuck in a questionable spec war, or are we one day going to wonder how we ever put up with ‘only’ 240Hz displays?

If consuming media with integer scaling is the main concern, then 120Hz would be better than 144Hz, because it can be divided by 5 to make 24Hz (for movies) and divided by 2 or 4 to make 30/60Hz (for TV shows).

144Hz only cleanly divides into 24Hz by dividing it by 6. In order to get to 60Hz you need to divide by 2.4, which is not an integer.

And with either refresh rate 25/50Hz PAL content is still not dividable by a nice round integer value

Yeah as I said take what I said with a massive grain of salt, some people are saying it's because of a limit of hdmi data sending so it could be that.
