Don’t know how to change the refresh rate on your monitor? Read on to learn how it’s done.
Your monitor’s refresh rate just tells you how many times a second the image on screen is updated — so for example, a refresh rate of 60Hz means the screen is updated 60 times a second. Having a high refresh rate can be great for gaming and watching videos, as it can make everything move more smoothly so you can keep up with the action.
Equally though, having a lower refresh rate can also be useful, as it consumes less power. By setting a lower refresh rate, it can help your computer stay alive longer without the battery running out.
It follows, then, that you might want to change the refresh rate of your computer depending on what you’re doing — and luckily that’s easy enough to do. It only takes a few seconds, so you can switch back and forth whenever you need to.
