As a mediatec guy I think the idea that everything needs to be 60 fps is a pest. I understand the idea in gaming, but it is not needed elsewhere. A train stop display can easily do its job at 1 fps or lower. You do not need to display motion at all and the 1 fps you need mostly for blinking things off and on (if there is no dedicated circuit for it).

Most cinema films I watched projected from analog film looked perfect at 24 fps. Heck some anime loocks better at 5 or 10fps than it would look if the motion was fluid at 120 fps. Why would a display at a train stop need double the frame rate of a cinema classic that still looks completely convincing? Because some gamers decided they can't play below 60 fps?
