Display refresh rates refer to the number of times an image refreshes on your computer screen per second. The entire process is measured in Hertz (HZ). For example, a 90Hz display will refresh the screen 90 times every second.
If you are a gamer or a video editor, you might want a display with higher refresh rates. The higher the refresh rate, the faster the image changes (or refreshes) on display. A higher refresh rate is essential for a better and smoother viewing experience.
If you have a monitor with a low refresh rate, you will notice screen flickering. It might even lead to headaches and eye strain in the worst case. So, if you have a compatible monitor and a dedicated GPU, you might want to change the display refresh rate on Windows 11.
Although Windows 11 automatically sets the optimal refresh rate, users sometimes need to change the settings manually. Also, Windows 11 has a Dynamic Refresh Rate feature that automatically increases or lowers the refresh rate on high-refresh panels.
