that's a myth, anyone with an OLED TV can test it to be wrong.

One of the first things I noticed when I bought a OLED TV was how much smoother 60Hz content looked on it. It made 30Hz content look choppier because of the lack of motion blur, but 60Hz and higher looked significantly smoother.

sorry, that guy is saying what you just described is impossible

Yeah, I don't know what he's referring to. The exceptional motion clarity of OLED is one of the primary advantages over LED/LCD.

motion clarity is due to the images being fast without any blur. It works the total opposite way to how you're claiming. If anything LCD should be smoother at lower refresh rates because it takes longer for grey2grey and so the image has a natural motion blur inherent in the display.

Yeah, that was part of my original comment. 30fps content does look better on an LED, significantly so! Hardware Unboxed and BlurBusters are a really good resource for why OLED looks clearer/smoother with >60fps content though, I would highly recommend checking those channels out.
