[quote]Compromise 45fps? Even that would be slightly more comfortable than 30fps.[/quote] You can get a weird frame buffer kind of issue with 45fps unless you are running with an adaptive refresh setup (where the monitor can match odd non-standard drawing rates). At the more common 60/120hz rates, you get odd extra frame stalls here and there that makes things kinda jerky, or you may see weird artifacting too that aren't there with 30 or 60 fps because they line up more evenly.

Okay, there aren't tvs with that technology, why it's either 30/60fps.[spoiler]actually is, but not mainstream yet... Also consoles don't support it. (Hdmi 2.1, one article said x1x does, but others said it's hdmi 2.0b[/spoiler]

Yeah... the tech has been out there in the computer markets for a while now, but other areas have been slower to adopt. 3DTV and the 120hz sensation kind of eclipsed the free-synch stuff, then 4K took off on top of that. You can find it, but have to dig a bit deeper for it. Always ran to the PC monitor with headphones for the more intense stuff anyway. Condo has small bedrooms. 26" tv to a 23" monitor isn't too much of a shift... plus it's higher contrast, dot pitch, and faster response time makes everything "feel" crisper when it really matters. If it weren't for needing the channel scan on the TV for the local channels (switched from cable to streaming), probly wouldn't even have one TBH. Even the blu-rays looked better on the monitor.
