Is a 60hz tv bad for gaming?

So I have an Xbox series S and wanted to buy a smaller monitor to play on. My current tv is 4K 60hz but it’s a 50 inch and I don’t like gaming in huge screens so I bought a 28 inch monitor with 4K but it’s 60hz as well. 

I’m not a pc gamer yet so I know for pc 120 hz is ideal and know the series s can do up to 120hz But will this affect me with my smaller monitor?

    the human eye cannot see more than 60fps (60Hz). but even so, it can tell the difference between 60fps and 120fps.

    but it won't affect how much you can see happening, and your game won't suffer from it. plus, you can always upgrade later, if you so choose.

    60Hz etc.is refresh rate and part of the monitor hardware.

    Refresh rate is nothing to do the FPS although can affect it under certain conditions.

    If the monitor has multi refresh rates this can be altered by the graphics driver but is still hardware in the monitor.

    60 Hz is fine for gaming.  faster refresh demands the gpu supply more frames, which slows it down ... serious gamers hate that

    All it does is reduce motion blur a little. Your eye will have a hard time seeing much difference without a side by side comparison and it has no real effect on the speed of the game.
