Role of Refresh Rates in Display Cycles
The refresh rate of a display describes how often the screen updates the image per second, measured in hertz (Hz). A higher refresh rate means that the screen refreshes more frequently, which is important for several reasons. First, it makes moving images look smoother, which is particularly noticeable when you’re watching fast-moving scenes in movies or playing video games.
Secondly, a higher refresh rate can reduce eye strain because it makes the screen flicker less, providing a more comfortable viewing experience. Common refresh rates include 60 Hz, 120 Hz, and even higher for advanced screens. In general, the smoother the motion you want, the higher the refresh rate you’ll need.
What is a Display Cycle?
Display Cycle: A display cycle is the process of updating what you see on a screen, like a TV or computer monitor. For example, older TVs called CRTs change what’s on the screen every time something moves or updates, like moving your mouse or typing text. The screen redraws or refreshes the image many times a second to show these changes. This makes sure that what you see is current and moves smoothly.
