we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i've done it, it doesn't.

there's more visible jitter if you're dragging windows around like crazy, otherwise you mostly won't notice

when i tried daisy chaining my 4k monitors it didn't work and they were mirrored in 30 hz and it was noticeable moving the mouse/windows around

i'm assuming that's the intended use case.

i did it for a bit when i first got my 4k display as the firmware was poo poo and wouldn't do 60hz with full rgb. you can see it, but it doesn't interfere with working on documents or web browsing really. in my case it was less bad than dealing with splotchy bullshit from lowered colour resolution

if you don't need sick2nasty 360 noscope headshots it's basically functional for real work

i'm not trying to defend it, they're doing that because it's stupid expensive to get something that does 60hz 4k in full RGB colour. for the average use case it's not going to matter if it's not 60hz

this is stupid and wrong
