11. What is refresh rate?
"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other
words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second.
A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work
long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings
/ Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the
monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card.
