Understand screen refresh
rates
Note your refresh rate. The image that
you see onscreen doesn't appear onscreen
continuously--it flashes on and off. And it flashes
quickly enough to appear as if it's always there.
The speed of the flashing is called the refresh
rate, and this is an important figure to
remember. A monitor with a refresh rate that's too
low will appear to flicker somewhat, which can
result in headaches and eyestrain. Higher
resolutions demand higher refresh rates, and a
better monitor will have an advertised refresh rate
of at least 70Hz for most resolutions.
Remember, higher numbers are better when comparing
refresh rates.
