120hz appears less sharp at same resolution

I tried to take a photo to show what I mean but it’s a bit hard to see. But at the exact same resolution, 120hz appears way less sharp than at 60. At 60, the quality is beautiful. I want to play at 120, but the quality is much worse. Is this due to lack of HDMI 2.1?

I’ve tried with and without HDR, VRR etc. In both 60 and 120, the TV says it’s the same resolution as well.

No, actually you don't need it. Look https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamOS/s/lgGw6XY7pO

Exactly yes, it’s compressed. This doesn’t change anything
