The number of times that the image on a CRT-based display is drawn each second. If your monitor has a refresh rate of 72 Hertz (Hz), then it cycles through all the pixels from top to bottom 72 times a second.

Applicable to CRTs but not LCDs, refresh rate equals the number of times per second that the electron gun redraws the image on the screen. For example, if a CRT refresh rate is set to 60 Hz, the screen image will be redrawn 60 times a second. Low refresh rates will cause the image to flicker, resulting in eye strain or other problems. For this reason, refresh rates on CRTs should be set as high as possible.

The frequency at which the electron guns in your monitor redraw the image, measured in Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second. As an example, a refresh rate of 60 Hz means the screen is redrawn 60 times per second. Higher refresh rates reduce or eliminate image "flicker" that can cause eye strain.

how often the screen image is redrawn.

A specification determined by the number of rows on a DRAM component that must be refreshed. Two common refresh rates are 2K and 4K .

The vertical scan rate of a video display, or the number of times a second that a video display can paint an entire screen with a video signal. The standard refresh rate in the U.S. for video (television, DVD, VHS, laserdisc) is 60 Hz. The maximum vertical resolution of a video display can be determined by dividing the horizontal scan rate by the refresh rate.

The rate at which a monitor and video adapter pass the electron guns of a cathode-ray tube from the top of the display to the bottom. The refresh rate determines whether the display appears to flicker.

display: The speed at which the video screen is redrawn. Faster is better. The original 9" Mac screens refresh at 66 Hz (66 cycles per second), which is much faster than most TVs. Most good monitors refresh at 70-75 Hz. Of course, a fast video redraw still has to wait for software to come up with a new picture for it to draw, which is where processor speed matters most.

In a monitor, the rate at which the phosphors that create the image on the screen are recharged.

Computer monitors often have a "maximum refresh rate" listed in their technical ...

The rate in which new viewers tune into a televised broadcast, increasing the reach and awareness of a placement or sponsorship element.

How many times per second the entire screen is redrawn, or how the monitor paints a complete monitor screen. For example a refresh rate of 160 Hz means the screen is drawn 160 times per second. Higher refresh rates produce less flicker.

The number of times per second at which the display is redrawn. Refresh rates below 72 Hz generally cause perceptible flicker.

The rate at which a monitor redraws the image on its screen; measured in hertz (Hz). Refresh rates below 75Hz (75 redraws per second) typically create a flickering effect, which causes eyestrain. (4/99)

The refresh rate for a monitor is measured in hertz (Hz) and is also called the vertical frequency, vertical scan rate, frame rate or vertical refresh rate. The old standard for monitor refresh rates was 60Hz, but a new standard developed by VESA sets the refresh rate at 75Hz for monitors displaying resolutions of 640x480 or greater. This means that the monitor redraws the display 75 times per second. The faster the refresh rate, the less the monitor flickers.

The number of times per second the screen is updated or "repainted." Depending on the video standard, the actual image is changed only 30 times per second for NTSC signal or 25 times per second for PAL. However, most LED systems use pulse-width modulation to generate the color levels, and if the image were only "painted" once for every change, there would be a noticeable flicker on the display. A refresh rate of greater than 60 times per second will minimize the flicker. In general, LED displays should be refreshed at 120 times per second (120 Hz) or greater.

The number of times per second that a video screen is repainted. NTSC video is shown at 30 frames per second while PAL and SECAM are displayed at 25 frames per second.

Also referred to as scan rate. It is the number of times in one second (Measured in Hz) that the electron beam travels across the screen horizontally from one scan line to the next.

The frequency at which a CRT's electron guns redraw the image; measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz equals one cycle per second; a 70Hz refresh rate means that the entire screen is redrawn 70 times per second.

The rate at which the picture redraws itself in one second. Usually expressed in hertz (Hz).

Once the shutter-release button is suppressed, this is the time it takes the digital camera to read the image, capture the data and get ready for another shot. In less expensive cameras, this rate tends to be slow; maybe a second or two whereas in high-end cameras the rate parallels 35mm cameras (instantaneous).

The rate at which a monitor redraws the screen image. This rate is usually measured in Hertz (Hz). For example, a monitor with a 65Hz refresh rate redraws the screen image 65 times per second. Faster refresh rates reduce the amount of "flicker" in the monitor image.

The time interval required for the electronics to fully address a display. This rate determines the capability of the display to show video images.

How many times a second a screen, LCD or TV, is updated. Under 15 looks decidedly 'jerky'

the number of times each second that the information displayed on a non-permanent display is rewritten. An example is the number of times a CRT image must rewritten or reenergized to remain visible and flicker-free.

In digital camera terms, how many times per second the display on the LCD preview monitor is updated. A refresh rate of under about 18fps will look 'jerky'.

number of times that a display screen is redrawn per second; the higher the refresh rate, the less the perceived "flicker"

How often something is rewritten or updated. The refresh rate of your monitor and graphics card can cause your monitor to appear to flicker if set improperly.

The number of times per second the image on screen is redrawn. Measured in Hz, and can range anywhere from 60Hz up to 120Hz for most monitors. The higher the refresh rate, the less flicker effect will be created. Every time the screen is refreshed, the image is taken from the frame buffer.

A computer refreshes the desktop at regular intervals. The length of these intervals is called a refresh rate. The larger the refresh rate is, the quicker the desktop is refreshed, allowing you to see a computer display comfortably with less flickers. Depending on the computer, however, the maximum refresh rate is limited.

The image on your computer monitor doesn't just appear fully formed on the screen's phosphors: it's drawn line by line with beams fired from three electron guns at the back of the CRT. The frequency at which they redraw the image is called the refresh rate, and it's an important measure of how steady the image will appear.

Indicates how often an image can be displayed on the monitor per second (in Hz  -vertical frequency).

The number of times a display screen is redrawn per second. The higher the rate, the less flicker a display presents.

The rate at which a monitor repaints an image. A low vertical refresh rate (e.g. 60Hz) produces visible flicker. For most people, flicker cannot be seen above 75Hz.

The number of times a monitor's screen information is updated every second. The higher the rate, the smoother the display will be and the less flicker you'll see. It is measured in hertz.

The refresh rate is the amount of times a display's image refreshed per second. The refresh rate is expressed in hertz - a refresh rate of 80 means the screen refreshes itself 80 times per second.

The frequency, measured in Hz, at which your screen's horizontal lines are recharged (sometimes also referred to as its vertical frequency). The higher the refresh rate, the less video flicker can be seen by the human eye.

The number of times the screen image is "painted" or refreshed per second, expressed in Hz.

Denotes how many times a second a field or frame is drawn. NTSC is 60 Hz, or 60 times a second.

This is how often something is rewritten or updated. With CRT monitors, the refresh rate of the screen is very important to provide an image that appears...

The number of time the screen can be redrawn in a second. A higher refresh rate means less flickering of the display. This can reduce eyestrain and fatigue.

The time required to redraw the image on the screen of a monitor. If the refresh rate is too slow the screen will seem to be flickering.

Expressed in Hertz (Hz), in interlaced mode this is the number of fields written to the screen every second. In non-interlaced mode it is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second. Higher frequencies reduce flicker, because they light the pixels more frequently, reducing the dimming that causes flicker. Also called vertical frequency.

The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 times per second.

Also called Vertical Scan Rate, the speed at which the screen is repainted. Typically, color displays must be refreshed at 60 times per second. Usually, the faster the refresh rate, the less flicker a monitor has (normally defined in Hz).

The number of times a monitor's image is repainted per second to the screen. The refresh rate is expressed in hertz so a refresh rate of 75 means the image is refreshed 75 times in a second. The refresh rate for each monitor depends on the graphics card used. You can change the refresh rate in Display Properties. However, if you change the refresh rate to a setting that the monitor or graphics card cannot support, the monitor goes blank or the image becomes distorted. It is recommended to consult the monitor and graphics card user manuals to determine the supported refresh rates before changing the settings.

A measure of time required to draw, from top to bottom, all horizontal lines on a screen. A refresh rate of 72Hz is normally required for non-interlaced monitors.

The number of times per second a monitor redraws its screen image. A 60 hertz (Hz) vertical refresh rate indicates the on-screen image is redrawn 60 times per second. The higher the refresh rate, the sharper the on-screen image.

Refresh rate refers to the number of times per second that the image on your computer screen is recast. You may not realize it, but that's probably about 80 times a second. You may notice a slight flicker on your screen. By increasing the resolution on your monitor you can reduce screen flicker-but only to a certain point. A refresh rate of 80Hz is usually optimal.

As applied to monitors, the number of times in one second an electronic beam can fill the screen with lines from top to bottom. Also called vertical scan rate.

This is the speed at which the monitor's picture is redrawn or flashed in front of your eyes. Slower refresh rates provide a noticable flicker. Higher refresh rates create a steady picture (and is easier on your eyes). The refresh rate is determined by the video card, but also must be supported by the monitor. The maximum refresh rate will be different for different resolutions. A minimum of 75 Hertz is recommended (TV refresh rates are 30 Hz, which is why there is a noticable flicker).

The speed at which DRAM is refreshed. DRAM stores data as a series of electron charges in individual cells. This data must be constantly recharged or 'refreshed' to keep the data from dissipating. The refresh rate refers to the size of the data that must be recharged, and is typically expressed in kilobytes (~1,000 bytes). Two common refresh rates are 2K and 4K, with 2K being the faster rate.

The number of DRAM component rows that must be refreshed. Three common refresh rates are 2K, 4K and 8K.

Number of times in a second an electronic beam can fill a monitor screen from top to bottom.

Number of times the screen can be redrawn per second—an ergonomic issue directly related to long-term ease of use. A higher refresh rate means a less "flickering" display, resulting in less eyestrain and fatigue. Bandwidth, horizontal scanning rate, and vertical scanning rate work together to determine both the resolution and refresh rate.

The rate at which the video card tells the monitor to update.

When referring to monitors, the number of times that the video card refreshes the entire screen in one second. Expressed in Hz (Hertz).

A count of the number of rows (in thousands) refreshed at a time in a refresh cycle. Common refresh rates are 1K, 2K, 4K, and 8K.

De refreshrate gebruikt in een display mode geeft aan hoe vaak per seconde het beeld op de monitor wordt ververst. Hoge refreshrates zijn populair omdat het resulterende beeld minder of in het geheel niet flikkert voor het menselijk oog. Het menselijk oog kan tot ongeveer 30 bewegende beelden per seconde zien flikkeren: Stilstaande beelden zoals op een computer gebruikt kan men zien flikkeren tot ongeveer 70 beelden per seconde: 70Hz. Refreshrates boven de 70 Hertz worden dan ook als ergonomisch beschouwd. Deze uitspraak geldt niet voor moderde (TFT) LCD schermen: die kunnen met 60Hz prima worden aangestuurd, omdat ze intern het beeld bufferen en continue aan de kijker laten zien. Er is dus een statisch beeld dat perfect stabiel is.

The time it takes the camera to capture the image after you press the shutter release.

How many times a second and image on a CRT or TV is updated.

Measure of how often the image on a CRT is redrawn; often expressed in hertz. Typically 60 times per second, or 60 Hz in the United States.

This is the rate at which the television / monitor refreshes the picture.

The rate at which the monitor is refreshed. A 60 Hz monitor is redrawn 60 times per second.

The rate at which a monitor re-draws the images on the screen, broken into horizontal refresh rates and vertical refresh rates. Phosphors on the screen begin to lose their charge quickly and have to be refreshed to keep the image on the screen.

The frequency with which the video screen is retraced to prevent the image from flickering. The entire image area of most monitors is refreshed approximately 60 times per second. See also: refresh

The refresh rate is the amount of times a display's image is repainted or refreshed per second. The refresh rate is expressed in hertz so a refresh rate of 75 means the image is refreshed 75 times in a second.

The amount of times the monitor refreshes (redraws) the picture on the screen. Refresh rates above 75 Hz are recommended since anything lower will cause headaches after a prolonged period of time.

The refresh rate (or "vertical refresh rate", "vertical scan rate" for CRTs) is the number of times in a second that a display is illuminated. 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. For example, a movie projector advances from one frame to the next 24 times each second.
