In the settings it is clearly said that “high” refresh rate turns on 120 Hz for all the time. But there is a few places where it falls short. First of all there are apps and games like google classroom, soul knight, geometry dash, subway surfers and I suppose that it is not a full list, that are permanently stuck at 60 fps. Next thing is a bit more strange, if the video, that is playing, takes up more that some particular portion of the screen, the refresh rate also falls back to 60 Hz. And the last thing is, if the display is not touched for about 4 seconds the refresh rate also drops to 60 Hz, meaning that if there was anything on screen, that was moving in 120 fps, it will drop to 60 fps and that looks horrible. The strangest thing is, that if I were to open any program in pop up view, all of the problems listed above disappear. This is clearly a sign that something is up with the “high” refresh rate mode itself and not the apps. All things together make the “high” refresh rate look more like “adaptive, but a little less” and it is not how it should work.
