When I found out bumping my video output down 120 Hz -> 60 Hz saved 10 watts of power consumption on my laptop, I put it there and never switched back. If I could have purchased a laptop for $500 cheaper because it didn't do 120 Hz, I would have got another laptop.
Then again, I've never bought a Hasselblad because it went to outer-space, or a thousand-dollar phone for... any reason whatsoever. I'd rather have the fluidity... liquidity... be in capital, not in my swipes.
I had to buy a new phone recently, went for a discounted last-years-flagship ($400) which has a meager 90Hz display. I can see the difference and the battery life is still way more than I need. When it goes on the charger it typically has over 75% charge left, charges in less than an hour, once per day. But I can see the difference if I cut the display frame rate. Not a huge deal but I like it.

And why would I need a 120Hz display on a phone? I hardly need it on a computer.

Makes the various animations/swipes/etc a lot more fluid.

I stated NEED. And I wouldn't see a difference there between a 60 or 120Hz.

You realize this is all completely subjective right? Typing NEED in caps isn't going to make people understand your definition of it.
