So why do you want high fps? The issue with low fps is, that it causes smearing.
I don't notice smearing much and run my games/display at 30 fps.
And then there are games with motion blur effect, silly, right?
It's a personal preference but I would take occasional smearing over janky frame rate, I don't know why but if you are not a solid 60,90,120 it just feels really like there is a stutter every second or two even though it should be fine if it's above 60fps.
That's the point; LCD/LED don't stutter but smear. It's some optical effect, because LCD don't "refresh" but always have the static image until next frame, unlike CRT.
