Edit: there seems to be a lot of fanboys downvoting, refusing to see that yes, it's a terrible decision to make a machine this expensive and not give it a nicer display.
Lenovo can choose to implement really nice screens on their ThinkPads, they are just being selective.
Pairing a dGPU laptop of this caliber with a 60hz display is atrocious and you should vote with your wallet to not let it slide
Original comment:
60 hertz display??? Why would Lenovo do such an atrocious spec decision on this laptop? I guess it is because it's a "business" laptop but come on, business users like them smooth 120-165hz displays too!!
Can't game properly on 60hz, well, at least nothing semi-competitive like FPS...

This is for data analysis and cad/engineering work, right? What makes anyone think this is for gaming?

Using a Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter, my similar 15" ThinkPad showed 4K 120 Hz HDR.

What makes you think CAD/Engineering doesn't need higher than 60Hz? I use Engineering apps (including CAD) that greatly benefit from using high refresh rate screens, and trust me it makes a difference.
Heck, just some of the tedious operations I do feel way better and I feel less eye fatigue when I'm able to smoothly scroll through pages and pages of documents, the blurry mess when scrolling at 60Hz doesn't allow me to focus on the text while I'm scrolling, it makes me motion sickness if I try to read it constantly, I have to let the page stand still, then I read. On 165hz I'm able to scroll slowly and read some of the text to find what I'm looking, it makes me more productive, less eye fatigue. It's a huge quality of life improvement you are choosing to ignore just for the fact that this is a "business" and "Engineering" laptop.
You are not being realistic either and perhaps dishonest here by ignoring that you are on Slickdeals where the majority of people buying a machine like this for personal use will also be gaming on it, or choosing to ignore that the majority of Slickdealers are not professional CAD/Enginners, but people looking for gaming machines and for school, etc.
If not dishonest and trolling, at least naive. Slickdeals is full of gamers, that's one of the bigger demographics.
I've been (I am still) in big league companies, none of them come here to Slickdeals to buy these machines, not even the startup I was working for, they all go through business channels. I doubt we have a lot of professionals looking at these for their CAD work, most of them already have Engineering PC/Laptop provided by their company.
You can dock the computer and get more hz, I said this wasn't a gaming computer, but go ahead and rant away. You think people on here are idiots which says a lot about you. Most are not and are actually educated enough to know that thinkpads are for business and not gaming.
You made my point while trying to prove me wrong.
I never said at all, ever, or implied, people here are idiots, those are your words and you are projecting, not my words.

This is obviously saying, and an obvious fail on your reading comprehension, that the demographics of Slickdeals is not professional CAD/Engineers, but gamers and students.
There's no direct correlation to me calling them stupid just because they are not from the demographics in CAD/Engineering. That's just how your mind works, you made that connection, you are just projecting LOL
It is in fact the opposite, we are not dumb, either gamers, students, professionals, and that's why we know this display is crap in a machine this nice, because we are smart. I have been the 3 demographics, gamer, student, professional, you don't speak on my behalf, this screen is terrible as a professional.

A Thinkpad for "business" with a 120hz VRR OLED display.
They can do it, they are doing it, they just decided to cheap out on this one.
