Refresh rate
Frequency at which a display hardware displays a new image
Frequency at which a display hardware displays a new image
In reference to terminology originating with cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), the refresh rate, also known as vertical refresh rate, vertical scan rate or vertical frequency, is the number of times per second that a raster-based display device displays a new image. This can be independent of frame rate, which describes how many images are stored or generated every second by the device driving the display. On CRT displays, higher refresh rates produce less flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. In other technologies, such as liquid-crystal displays, the refresh rate affects only how often the image can potentially be updated. Non-raster displays may not have a characteristic refresh rate. Vector displays, for instance, do not trace the entire screen, only the actual lines comprising the displayed image, so refresh speed may differ by the size and complexity of the image data. For computer programs or telemetry, the term is sometimes applied to how frequently a datum is updated with a new external...
