Screen refresh rate is a very important ergonomic characteristic of a monitor. It shows the frame rate of the image. If the frequency is set too low, the image starts to "flicker" - this is how the human eye perceives it. Working at such a monitor spoils the eyesight and quickly tires the user.
Necessary
Monitor, OS Windows
Instructions
Step 1
Right-click anywhere on the screen. Select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. In the dialog box that appears, go to the "Options" tab and click on the "Advanced" button.
Step 2
Select the "Monitor" tab, then set the required frame rate. Check the box next to "Hide modes that the monitor cannot support."
Step 3
In the 7th version of Windows, the screen frequency changes slightly differently. Place the cursor on a free space on the screen and click on the right mouse button. From the context menu select the item "Screen resolution". In the dialog box, click on the "Advanced options" button. Go to the "Monitor settings" tab and set the required refresh rate.
Step 4
The following situation is possible: you set a high refresh rate of the screen, and then you had to change the monitor. If the new monitor does not support the set frequency, you will not be able to start. Restart your computer, after initial boot press the F8 key. Choose "Safe Mode" from the suggested boot modes. Go to the properties of the monitor. The refresh rate will be set to "Default". Confirm your choice of mode by clicking OK and restart your computer. Set the operation mode that the monitor supports.
Step 5
There is another option for changing the parameters. After restarting the computer, press the F8 key and select the boot mode "Enable VGA mode". The computer will boot with sparing monitor settings: low screen resolution and minimum refresh rate. Go to the properties of the monitor and set the parameters that your monitor supports. Confirm your selection by clicking OK. Reboot to normal mode.
