I was never incredibly disturbed by 60Hz though I did notice it.

You reminded me of something I had forgotten though — remember when 100Hz / 120Hz TVs first became a thing? That I noticed!

I think most of my PC CRTs ran at 72Hz / 75Hz IIRC. At least with the monitor I had I remember pushing it to 90Hz but that would add bluriness / lose clarity so I never used it at that rate.
