gollark: I've seen 4K displays and don't really care. My laptop screen is 120Hz and it is not significantly different from my 60Hz monitor, except for slightly better colours but this isn't very related. I recently got a mid-range-ish phone instead of the cheapest-available ones I usually would and it's somewhat nicer (better haptics and sensors mostly), but premium ones seem to have very diminishing returns from the ones I've interacted with. I've tried a few mechanical keyboards and they don't seem significantly nicer (one was even *worse* for me due to excessively tall keys/high key travel). I also have an NVMe disk and it does not feel very different to the SATA SSDs I had before.
gollark: See, even if it *was* good, you probably just get used to it and then demand higher standards forever.
gollark: Wrongness is correlated, probably.
gollark: Oh, also NVMe disks.
gollark: I have, or I would have used different examples.
