	Refresh rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is distinct from the measure of frame rate in that the refresh rate includes the repeated illumination of identical frames, while frame rate measures how often a display can change from one image to another.
		In a CRT, the scan rate is controlled by the vertical sync signal generated by the video controller, ordering the monitor to position the electron gun at the upper left corner of the raster, ready to paint another frame.
		The refresh rate can be calculated from the horizontal scan rate by dividing by the number of horizontal lines and multiplying the result by 0.95 (since about 5% of the time it takes to scan the screen is spent moving the electron gun back to the top).

	Introduction--Monitor Technology Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Refresh rate refers to the rate of speed at which a CRT monitor screen image refreshes or "redraws" itself.
		The refresh rate on most CRT monitors can easily be adjusted through the PC and graphics board to a level that delivers a comfortable viewing experience at the given resolution desired.
		A maximum refresh rate specification, based on the resolution desired and the horizontal frequency range of the monitor, is often listed in product literature.

		Many users have the refresh rate set to below 75 Hz even though their systems are perfectly capable to handle higher refresh rate.
		Refresh rate means how many times per second the screen is refreshed (redrawn).
		In general, the faster the refresh rate is, the less the monitor flickers.

	Dot Pitch, Resolution, and Refresh Rate
		Refresh rate is the vertical frequency, or the rate at which each pixel on a screen is re-drawn.
		Due to limits in bandwidth, the rate at which the screen is redrawn decreases as the resolution increases.
		Bandwidth is the rate at which the monitor receives data from the video card.

	Refresh Rates and Interlacing
		The refresh rate necessary to avoid flicker varies with the individual, because it is based on the eye's ability to notice the repainting of the image many times per second.
		Support for a given refresh rate requires two things: support from the video card to generate the refresh signal at the appropriate speed, and support from the monitor to handle the refresh.
		The usual refresh rate for interlaced operation is 87 Hz, which corresponds to 43.5 Hz of "real" refresh given the half-screen interlacing.

	Digital Silence - What does 'Optimal' Refresh Rate really mean?
		Most people assume this is the maximum refresh rate that a monitor can support, but that is not always the case.
		This lists all of the refresh rates that Windows has determined are safe for your monitor based on the information available to Windows (the driver.INF, the monitor.INF and the EDID).
		When setting a refresh rate, if the driver doesn't have enough info, it will use the information that it does have and make an intelligent but safe guess, which could be lower than the true maximum refresh rate supported by your monitor.

	[H]ard\|Forum - Refresh rate on an LCD. Does it matter?
		I guess to produce a frame rate of 300fps, the monitor would need a refresh rate of about 0.3ms or 300Hz.
		If I remember correctly, having a higher refresh rate does help on newer lcd monitors because they have only begun to have fast enough displays to update the information along with the refresh rate.
		I do notice that It helps me to put my refresh rate higher on my 16ms panel because for some reason I get the feeling that there is less lag, but it could be the placebo effect.

		The refresh rate is tied to the monitor resolution, which is why manufacturers list the two together.

		Refresh Rate fix fixes the bug where even if you set your refresh rate to something, itll return to default which most of the time is 60.
		So if you run the program, itll set the modes you can use for each resolution, using the highest refresh rates that are safe.

	Support Note: 217
		To safely use the refresh rate program, it is vital that you know the following information with regards to your monitor.
		For example: to setup the refresh rate control program to use a monitor capable of 48kHz and a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz, use the following command line.
		The refresh rate control program can also be removed by rebooting your system.

	re: Maximum refresh rate? - Neoseeker Forums
		Although sometimes the driver doesn't list the refresh rate, you can choose to unclick the button "hide the modes that this monitor cannot display" and manually select a refresh rate that you know will work.
		To calculate your maximum refresh rate for any resolution, you will first need to find out your monitors horizontal deflection frequency (usually in the specifications section of your manual).
		Dividing 96000hz by 1024 vertical lines gives you how many times the monitor can refresh the image per second, or your theoretical maximum refresh rate, however each time the monitor scans a new image, the beam has to go back to the top which usually takes about 5 hundreds of a second.

	[H]ard\|Forum - LCD refresh rate
		My thought on the refresh rate of a LCD is that the LCD has a fixed clock, probably at 60 hz, so no matter how much info you send it ie 75 hz instead of 60hz it will still only show at 60hz due to the LCD display's clock.
		While its true that LCD's dont refresh like CRT's do the refresh rate does determine the rate at which updates are sent from the video card to the LCD.
		The DVI port on current video cards has a limiting bandwidth issue and this is why you can select higher refresh rates at lower resolutions but at higher resolutions like 1680x1050 you can't choose anything higher then 60Hz.

	bit-tech.net Forums - Hz refresh rate alters fps?
		With v sync on, your framerate is limited by your monitor refresh rate.
		Vsync can limit you more than you think because in practice your FPS are often a lot less than the refresh rate, primarilly due to a delay occuring when the gfx card can't draw an entire frame ready for the start of the monitor's next screen refresh.
		:naughty: In terms of how noticable a higher rate of FPS is when you already exceed the monitor's refresh rate 3dfx had a great little demo designed to show this type of thing.

		I would like to know how to run at higher resolution when I am not playing CS with a lower refresh rate (since it doesnt support high refresh rate + high rest) and then run high refresh rate when I play CS at 800x600..
		look for a problem called reforce and it will force your refresh rate to be what you set it.
		Try moving an open window up and down in that refresh rate and you can see it skip a little.

	For the soon to be Plasma owners - DTV Forum Australia
		you were insinuating that the refresh rate is always fixed and is either 60 Hz (all, except Pioneer) or 72 Hz (Pioneer).
		There's not even a technical reason why a fixed internal refresh rate would have to be the case -- it's not as if plasmas have an electron beam that scans at a pre-determined and non-adaptable rate (like non-multisync CRT tubes).
		For this to happen the panel with its progressive scan processing has to be operating equivalent to a 70hz or better refresh rate.

	Linux Game Tome :: View topic - 60Hz Refresh Rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Note that running at higher refresh rates is all very nice, but it means the game has much less time between frames to do everything necessary and could potentially drop to half the rate it was initially (not good).
		For example, if the refresh rate is 75 Hz, you'd get perfect smooth movement at 15 fps and 25 fps without any work at all (well, in theory, at least).
		It seems less than ideal to me to be running a game engine at a lower framerate than your monitors refresh rate, as things are not running as smooth as they could be.

	How To Change the Screen Refresh Rate of Your Monitor in Windows XP
		The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting.
		If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
		Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.
