Refresh rate

What is refresh rate?

Refresh rate measures how many times your monitor updates its image every second. It’s measured in Hertz (Hz).

For example:

• 60Hz: The screen refreshes 60 times per second
• 120Hz: The screen refreshes 120 times per second
• 144Hz: The screen refreshes 144 times per second.
• 240Hz: The screen refreshes 240 times per second.

The higher the refresh rate, the better the following:

• Scrolling through websites
• Moving your mouse pointer around
• Scrolling through code
• Animations and transitions
