The number of times in one second that an electronic beam can fill the screen with lines from top to bottom is known as the refresh rate. This value is typically measured in Hertz (Hz) and indicates how many times per second the image on the screen is refreshed. Common refresh rates for electronic displays range from 60Hz to 240Hz.
The unit of frequency measured in cycles per second is called Hertz (Hz).
Monitor flicker may be caused by loose cables or connectors, refresh rate settings that are incompatible with the monitor, and issues with the monitor's power supply. Other potential causes include electromagnetic interference from nearby electronic devices or a malfunctioning graphics card.
AC frequency refers to the number of complete cycles of alternating current that occur in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) and determines the rate at which the direction of the current changes. In most countries, the standard AC frequency for power distribution is 50 or 60 Hz.
The frequency supplied by the outlet in most countries is 50 or 60 Hz. This frequency determines the rate at which the alternating current switches direction.
Hertz symbolized as Hz, describes the refresh rate of TVs.
75 Hz
60 HZ interlaced
The refresh rate for the Sony KLH-W32 LCD is 120 Hz.
The brightness and contrast have some impact on eyestrain, but the main cause of eyestrain from computer monitors is the refresh rate. You should turn the refresh rate up as high as your monitor supports, especially if you are in an area with fluorescent lights. The default refresh rate for a monitor is 60 Hz, the same as fluorescent lights. With your monitor flickering at 60 Hz, and the lights flickering at 60 Hz (and not at the same time) the back-and-forth flickering, even though it can't be noticed, can cause considerable eye strain.
For a CRT, I find 75 hz much better, particularly when under florescent lighting. Since the lights run at 120 hz, the monitor can get into a 'synch' with the lights which creates moire patterns on the screen. Changing the rate to 75 or higher prevents this from happening and reduces eye strain. LCD screens (flat screens) are not likely to have this issue at all and it shouldn't matter.
It depends on the context. For display screens and gaming, higher Hz (refresh rate) is better for smoother motion. For audio, lower Hz (bass frequencies) are important for richer sound.
The 75 Hz or 100 Hz, etc., stated in a television's technical specification, means the picture refresh rate in cycles per second. The higher the picture refresh rate, the better the display of small fast-moving objects can be. (Footballs or tennis balls in flight, etc.)
I don't think it would hurt. I changed the refresh rate of my laptop's LCD from 59 to 60 a month ago and its been working fine since. As long as 60 Hz is already shown as an option in your control panel or whatever, it should be OK.
It has to do with the refresh rate. CRTS refesh the screen at a lower rate than LCDS. Although it is possible to raise the refresh rate to a maximum of 75 HZ a second or 75 images a second the digital recorder will record at higher than this so we see the refresh occuring.
Its not the drivers that ensure the refresh rate: they simply allow you to change the refresh rate which is dependant on the supported Hz of the monitor, you will find that most current PC monitors support between 50-80Hz but with the advent of 3D gaming/TV etc.... which requires 120Hz, this is quickly changing
Yes, a higher refresh rate like 240 Hz can result in a smoother motion for horizontal movement on the screen. This increased refresh rate allows for more frames to be displayed per second, reducing motion blur and creating a more fluid viewing experience for fast-paced content.
