Yes, we were aware that 144Hz was getting picked. We found that while 
debugging the screen corruption issue.

Well, yes power would be less with 60Hz but so will be the performance.

The test teams have been validating with 144Hz so far so we are checking 
internally with the team whether its OKAY to goto 60Hz now since that 
kind of invalidates the testing they have been doing.

Will update this thread once we finalize.
