Why? Movies, shows, sports are all made under that. Oh you mean games. And even then most people can't tell or don't tell a difference. Yeah 60hz means very little to the majority of people.
Gaming, for sure, if you are using anything hdmi 2.1 and looking for 60fps, I'd call it necessary.
It actually makes a difference on any kind of fast movement scenes though... 120Hz keeps up, it just has a faster response time and comes through less juttery or blurry, even with 60Hz signal since the TV is built to handle twice the refresh. Smart tvs these days also often enhance 60Hz signal. This stuff isnt as apparent in, say, under 55 inch, but it becomes more and more noticeable with bigger screens since objects have to move quicker across the 85. Once we start talking about 24p, which is very common, it divides evenly into 120, but not 60. This leads to dropped frames in the 60Hz, which again, is going to become more noticeable on bigger screens.

The size of the screen doesn't matter. What matters is resolution. Also, you are probably confusing 1% lows or response times, which are notable with the refresh rate. 60hz should be fine for most of the contents given hardware can keep 60hz.

Most people are just streaming these days, and the 3:2 pulldown of 24fps content on modern TVs works just fine. Sure, you can bump up to 120hz and get "smoother" video, but some of us really don't like that soap opera effect and turn off all the motion clarity garbage anyway. That being said, if you are buying a $600 85" TV I think it's reasonable to temper your expectations. I don't think you could have gotten any 85" TV for this price last year.
I think when taking about a $600 85in TV, the discussion on the finer points of refresh rates and panel types seems besides the point. It's a hunk of sh**, a huge hunk.
