What is Refresh Rate on a computer?
The refresh rate on a computer is used to describe how often a monitor draws the current data to the screen. Refresh rate effects visual quality for CRT, LCD and even HD TVs as they are commonly connected to computers for high definition playback. Refresh rate is not to be confused with frame rate. Refresh rate is a measure of how often a frame is written to the screen repeated or not, and frame rate refers to how often a new frame is sent from the graphics source. Refresh rates can degrade data presentation quality and even cause discomfort in viewers if set too low.
