Which is the higher refresh rate??

Question

This is what I am trying to do
1) Brighten your screen (Not too much)
2) Right click on your desktop and click properties
3) Click settings and then click on the "Advanced" button
4) Now click on monitor and under screen refresh rate,choose a higher refresh rate.
But I am stuck on step 4 the refresh rate my computer is set on is set on 75 hertz and step 4 says to choose the higher refresh rate well is 85 or 72 hertz the higher refresh rate?? Thanks!!

Answer 1

The higher number means the more waves are travelling across the screen and thus a higher refresh rate. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

What type of monitor do you have {crt or lcd} and what are you trying to achieve?

If your monitor is a CRT type then:
75 hertz means 75 times per second. 85 hertz then is 85 times per second which would be a faster {higher} rate.

Never set the refresh rate outside the range specified for your particular monitor. If you do, you may damage the monitor. To know what the allowable range is for your monitor:
1) determine the make and model
2) visit the on-line service/support area for your make/model monitor and look-up the specs. For example, you may see a frequency range like 60-80hz.
3) choose the highest refresh rate within that range. In this example {60-80hz} 85 hz is outside the allowed range and should NOT be selected.

Refresh rate does not typically apply to LCD monitors because they do not use phosphorous dots that depend on persistence to achieve the display. For more information look at:

For LCD's the important value is response time, which is typically given in milleseconds like 16ms, for example. Then a monitor with a 20ms response time is actually a lower performance. For LCD monitors the lower the response time {range 12-16ms} is better for displaying rapidly changing images. In other words the lower the response time number, the faster the monitor is.

Answer 3

85 Hz is the higher refresh rate.


Going to 85 Hz will possibly make your image slightly less clear. You only need to go to 85 Hz if you are seeing flicker on your screen at 75 Hz. (Your best chance of perceiving flicker is to look at the bezel around the screen, but be aware of the screen itself.)


Also you only need 75 Hz or 85 Hz for a CRT. An LCD will look better at 60 Hz refresh rate.

Answer 4

NO NO NO forcing your refresh bigger than supported by skill of the computer screen will reason an exceedingly quickly failure of the computer screen the refresh fee is a connection with a element of the test interior the vertical cycle do not exceed supported limits
