R
Refresh rate
The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated
in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second.
Response Time
Response time is the period required for a liquid crystal cell to go from active (black) to inactive
(white) and back to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better: Lower
response time means faster transitions and, therefore, results in fewer visible image artifacts in the
display of fast-moving images.
