Have you ever set up a PC before, hooked it up to your computer monitor, only to max out at 60 frames? There are more to monitors than resolution and screen size. But for those of you who are unfamiliar, a refresh rate, which is measured in Hertz (Hz), is the number of times per second (rate) your monitor can redraw (refresh) the screen. The higher the Hz, the more frames you monitor can display per second, making it smoother. Monitors with high refresh rates are usually a premium, but it's nice to see that they are slowly trickling down to the mid-range market as well. Healthwise, monitors with a refresh rate of 60 Hz tend to strain your eye after a while compared to a monitor with a higher refresh rate. For us gamers, a monitor with a high refresh rate is king. And If you play fast-paced competitive games like CS-GO or even AAA titles such as Red Dead Redemption, a monitor with a high refresh rate will improve response time and minimize screen tearing.
