Most LCD panels don't go higher than 60 fps, and you won't notice much
difference beyond ~30 fps anyway due to persistence - the pixels are
physically unable to change color faster than this.  Setting your
refresh rate to anything else than the default 60 Hz will simply
generate heat and eat up your battery for no gain.
