>Are there specific cases where "HFR" videos are really improving the viewing experience of particular (types of) content?

Yes. Every single one. It's that simple.

I've found that zero of the videos that I've ever seen that were 60fps improved things: certainly if I went full screen I could notice the resolution of 1080@60 versus 720@30, but in a standard browser window it was none.

If you don’t even see the difference between 1080p and 720p, there’s something else going on.

If I open a browser window and click on a YT video suggested on the main page, it plays on small portion of the screen of my 14" MacBook: there is little practical visual difference between 720 and 1080 at that 'video box' size. If I open the same video on my 27" 5K iMac and full screen it there, then yes, there is a difference between 720 and 1080 (and 4K) there. But I find 60fps does not improve the content / experience in any situation.

		Something else going on? Mysterious. I think people just care about and pay attention to different things. I don't think I've ever cared about this resolution difference in video. I prefer greater frame rates though. Yes, my vision tests are fine. On the other hand, when I see a video where someone's talking is recording from across the room with a camera mic in an untreated room, I'll just turn it off. I guess I'm a big snob for certain audio things. Video resolution though? Never cared.

Finally found the person who was the target audience for garbage consoles claiming 30fps gaming is the norm. That makes one. :D
