To view the refresh rate of the monitor on Windows system, you can use the display settings or the graphics card control panel. The steps are: Right-click the desktop to select "Display Settings" and enter "Advanced Display Settings" and click on the current monitor to view the refresh rate; NVIDIA or AMD graphics card users can also view it through the corresponding driver interface. Mac users need to turn on "System Settings" and enter "Display" and hold down the Option key and click "Zoom" to display the refresh rate. If the refresh rate cannot be seen, it may be because the cable does not support high-reflash, the monitor does not turn on high-reflash mode, the graphics card driver is too old or the resolution is too high. It is recommended to check hardware compatibility and update the driver or replace the cable test.

Turn on the computer settings and you can see the refresh rate of the monitor, but the operation of different systems is slightly different.

How to check the refresh rate of the monitor on Windows system

It is very simple to check the refresh rate on Windows, mainly through the display settings or the graphics card control panel. The steps are as follows:

• Right-click the blank space on the desktop and click "Show Settings"
• Scroll down to find "Advanced Display Settings"
• Click the currently connected monitor and the "Refresh Rate" option will be displayed. The default is usually 60Hz. If you connect to the high refresh screen, you may see numbers such as 144Hz and 165Hz.

If you are using an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, you can also view more detailed refresh rate information through the graphics card driver interface. For example, in the NVIDIA control panel, you can see the refresh rate of the current output signal in "Resize Desktop Size and Position".

How do Mac users view refresh rate

The way you view refresh rates on your MacBook or iMac is a little bit more concealed:

• Open System Settings and enter the "Display" option
• Press and hold the Option key and click the "Zoom" option, an additional debug menu will appear
• You can see the refresh rate of the current monitor in the pop-up option

It should be noted that macOS does not directly list all available refresh rates like Windows. Especially when external monitors are connected, some high-refresh monitors may only output 60Hz by default. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the cable supports high refresh rates (such as HDMI 2.1 or DP cable).

What if the refresh rate does not display?

Sometimes the refresh rate cannot be seen in the settings, which may be the following reasons:

• Used cables that do not support high refresh rate, such as the old HDMI cable, which can only reach 60Hz
• Although the monitor supports high refresh mode, the corresponding mode is not turned on (for example, some monitors have "standard mode" and "game mode")
• The graphics card driver is too old or not installed correctly, it is recommended to update the latest version
• Excessive resolution may also limit the refresh rate limit. For example, 144Hz at 4K is not supported by all devices.

In this case, you can try changing the cable test, or go to the OSD menu of the monitor to see if there is any refresh rate prompt.

Basically all that is it. Remember to confirm the hardware support before changing it, otherwise it will be useless if you set it up.
