Generally, screen quality and ease of use are very important on touch devices. So, when you prefer such devices, what do you pay attention to? Does the screen's refresh rate, touch sensitivity, or stylus support influence your decision? Or do you approach it differently? Sharing your experiences would be very helpful.
What should we consider when choosing touchscreens?

First off, the thing that really grinds my gears about touch preferences is this whole refresh rate marketing gimmick, bro. I haven't even looked at 120Hz or 240Hz, and honestly, the numbers just keep piling up. Thankfully, a panel that runs smoothly at 60Hz or 90Hz is way more valuable than a busted screen that stutters at 144Hz. For example, I used an old phablet with LineageOS and a 60Hz display for years—no performance loss or anything—but when I tried 120Hz, I couldn’t shake off the lag.
There’s this misconception about touch sensitivity—sensors marketed as "better finger detection" are, in my opinion, unnecessary. The shape of the hand you use, how clean the screen is, even the sweat on your fingers seriously impacts performance. I think pen support is way more important. When you’re taking notes or drawing, you’re not relying on touch sensitivity—you care about how the pen reacts to the screen. If a display has Wacom pen support, even if it doesn’t have a high refresh rate, I’d still pick that. I’ve had a few devices that proved pen sensitivity matters way more than refresh rate, honestly. What do you guys think?
