11. What is refresh rate?

"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings

/Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card.

12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker?

●Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the monitor

●Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference

●Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.
