VRRCapable

VRRCapable is a term used to describe display devices, such as monitors and televisions, that support Variable Refresh Rate technology. Variable Refresh Rate, often abbreviated as VRR, is a display technology that synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rate output by the graphics source, such as a gaming console or a PC's graphics card. This synchronization aims to eliminate visual tearing, stuttering, and input lag that can occur when the display's refresh rate is not aligned with the content being rendered.

When a display is VRR capable, it means it has the hardware and software necessary to dynamically adjust its refresh rate in real-time. Instead of refreshing at a fixed rate (e.g., 60Hz, 120Hz), a VRR capable display can fluctuate its refresh rate to match the incoming frames from the source. This allows for a smoother and more responsive visual experience, particularly in gaming where frame rates can vary significantly. Common VRR technologies include NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync, and the HDMI 2.1 VRR standard. A device being VRR capable implies it is compatible with at least one of these or a similar VRR implementation, ensuring a more fluid and enjoyable viewing experience for dynamic content.
