Where did it say 90Hz? That sounds like a HUGE upgrade. The OLED image quality will be nice but higher refresh rate is something I've really wanted, though unfortunately I haven't seen anything regarding VRR.

Even without VRR there are noticeable improvements on the LCD deck from running at 60hz even when frame rates dip heavily, just because the frame timing is shorter so the new frames can be showed sooner.

There's also the benefit that there's no gaps in the range for frame multiplication, as long as the display still goes down to at least 45hz. With the original screen you can't run at 35fps properly (at least OOTB), since it's lower than the min of 40hz but doubling it exceeds the max (60hz).

True, half of 90 is 45 while half of 60 is 30. The LCD Deck benefits from the 70Hz display overclock tweak noticeably so going up to 90 is huge. I hope the OLED can at least operate at any fixed refresh between 30 and 90.

How does it compare to the old prices ?
