About the Refresh Rate Score

The Refresh Rate Score allows you to quickly and easily check the refresh rate (Hz) of your screen. The refresh rate refers to how many times per second the display updates the image, which is crucial for smooth visuals in video games, movies, and general use.

Simply press the "Start Test" button, and within a few seconds, you will get your display's refresh rate and additional screen information like resolution, pixel density (DPI), and color depth.

Refresh Rate Score Guide

Below 60 Hz: Common for older or budget screens. May cause choppy visuals, especially in fast-moving content.
60 Hz - 75 Hz: Standard for most basic monitors and laptops. Good for everyday use but may not be ideal for gaming or high-motion video.
75 Hz - 120 Hz: Suitable for gaming and video playback with smoother motion. Improves visual experience compared to 60 Hz.
120 Hz - 144 Hz: High refresh rate, often found in gaming monitors. Provides very smooth visuals, reducing motion blur and lag.
144 Hz - 240 Hz: Ultra-high refresh rates, ideal for competitive gaming and professional video editing. Nearly eliminates motion blur.
240 Hz and Above: Cutting-edge refresh rates for the most demanding users. Offers extreme fluidity in fast-motion scenarios, but often requires powerful hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a refresh rate?

The refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), is the number of times per second that the screen refreshes the image. Higher refresh rates provide smoother visuals, especially in fast-moving scenes.

How accurate is the refresh rate test?

Our Refresh Rate Test uses an accurate frame-counting algorithm to measure the refresh rate in real-time. While results may vary slightly depending on your system and browser, it should be close to your display's true refresh rate.

What is DPI (Dots Per Inch)?

DPI measures the pixel density on your screen, indicating how many pixels are present in each inch of your display. Higher DPI means more pixels are packed in, offering greater clarity and detail.

How does screen resolution affect my display?

Screen resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed on your screen, typically given as width x height (e.g., 1920x1080). A higher resolution means more pixels and potentially sharper visuals.

Why does color depth matter?

Color depth, measured in bits, represents the number of colors a display can produce. A higher color depth (e.g., 24-bit or 32-bit) allows for more vivid and accurate color representation.
