If the refresh rate is set higher on a monitor is it better or worse for one's eyes?

O.o

I have a choice between 60 hertz and 75 hertz.

Answer
The higher the refresh rate the better. Human eyes can start to see flickering on anything 50 Hz or below and it starts to become uncomfortable (and can even cause epileptic episodes).

The higher the frequency, the less likely you'll be able to perceive any flickering etc. You may also notice you get smoother gameplay in games with high frame rates.

What is the best size tv to play the Xbox/PlayStation on?

Anthony

I currently own a 65 inch tv, and I have found out that I play a lot better on a smaller screen tv. But what would be the best size.

Answer
Since you having a large television makes it a nonissue, I would really recommend a 120 hertz monitor around the ~23 inch size range. Most of the people that answered you are basing it off of screens they have currently, but generally don't specifically fill the niche for gaming.

A monitor around that size, assuming you use HDMI, would easily give you the ability to pay attention to everything on the screen, and will definitely make everything comfortable for you to see. Not too much eye movement, and more focusing.

You'll easily be able to notice the difference.

Why does my monitor make a really high frequency sound when I play games on my PC?

gaming monitor hertz image

farhad0158

This is really annoying. When I play a game on my PC this really high tone, high frequency sound starts coming out of my monitor. It also happens when visualisations in Windows media player are in full screen mode. Could someone tell me how I could get rid of this. Thanks in advance.

Answer
This is due to the change in resolution and refresh rate of your monitor when a game runs or when you switch a visualisation to full-screen. As the refresh rate changes, the frequency of signals sent to the monitor changes and some of these signals interfere with other circuits in the monitor, resulting in oscillations that have a frequency low enough for them to be audible.

A simple solution would be to switch your computer off for a few seconds, to let the oscillations die down, and then switch the monitor back on. If that does not work, try changing your monitor's refresh rate settings through the Windows Display Properties, as explained below.

1. Right click on your desktop (not on an icon) and select "Properties" from the menu that pops up.
2. Click on the Display Properties window's "Settings" tab.
3. Click on the Advanced button to bring up the advanced settings window.
4. Click on the "Monitor" tab of the new window.
5. Make sure the option "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display", if there, is checked.
6. Bring down the list under "Screen refresh rate" and select a different value (try a higher value if possible and avoid values equal to or below 60 Hertz).
7. Click on OK to save the changed setting. Windows will adjust the refresh rate and ask you if you are happy with it. If you are, click on Yes. If the screen goes blank or fuzzy, wait and it will recover after a few seconds. Then try a different refresh rate and try again.
8. Once you have changed the refresh rate successfully, click on OK on the Display Properties window to close it.
