Image for screen refresh rate

screen refresh rate

Screen refresh rate is the number of times a display updates its image each second, measured in hertz (Hz). For example, a 60Hz screen refreshes 60 times per second, creating smoother motion and reducing flicker. Higher refresh rates, like 120Hz or 240Hz, provide even more fluid visuals, especially noticeable during fast-moving scenes such as gaming or videos. A higher refresh rate can enhance your viewing experience by making motion appear more natural and reducing strain on your eyes, but it also depends on your hardware and content being displayed.
