Näytönnopeus

Näytönnopeus, also known as refresh rate, is a measure of how many times per second an image is redrawn on a display device. It is typically measured in Hertz (Hz), where one Hertz equals one redraw per second. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the motion appears on the screen, as there are fewer instances where the image appears to stutter or flicker.

Common refresh rates for computer monitors and televisions range from 60 Hz to 144 Hz. A 60 Hz refresh rate means the screen is redrawn 60 times per second, while a 144 Hz refresh rate means it is redrawn 144 times per second. Higher refresh rates are particularly beneficial for gaming, as they can reduce motion blur and make fast-paced movements appear smoother.

However, higher refresh rates also require more processing power and can lead to higher energy consumption. Additionally, not all content is optimized for high refresh rates, so the benefits may not be noticeable for all types of media.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards higher refresh rates, with some displays now offering refresh rates of 240 Hz or more. These ultra-high refresh rate displays are designed to provide an even smoother viewing experience, particularly for fast-paced games and other high-speed content.
