Especially with gamers, the screen frequency under Windows 11, 10, ... is an important question and whether the monitor was recognized correctly!If the monitor is not recognized correctly, this is a bad option for vertical synchronization in 3D games. The refresh rate is an important point to get the maximum performance in the 3D games with maximum energy efficiency. The refresh rate is often referred to as the refresh rate or the screen refresh rate! 1.) ... Checking / changing the Windows 11, 10, ... screen frequency!

2.) The classic solution with one command for all MS Windows OS!
1. Press Windows key + R
2. Command rundll32.exe display.dll,ShowAdapterSettings start
3. Call up the Monitor tab and make the correct setting. (Point 3)
4. Or via List all modes, recognize or change all available resolutions

3.) Why don't all screens have the same refresh rate?
Current monitors / screens have a refresh rate of 60 hearts. However, there are gamer screens that work with 100, 120, 200, ... heart. These are also more expensive to buy. As a rule, the 60 frames per second are sufficient to get a pleasant picture experience.See also: ► Prevent Windows 11 from turning off your screen!
As a rule, monitors with a higher refresh rate also have a slower response time. Response time is the time it takes a monitor to update an image. A lower response time is beneficial for gaming and other applications where smooth display is important.
Not all screens have the same screen frequency for various reasons :
Compatibility :
The screen frequency must be compatible with that of other connected devices, such as graphics cards and game consoles. Some devices can only support refresh rates up to a certain limit.
Manufacturing Cost :
Manufacturing a monitor with a higher refresh rate is typically more expensive than one with a lower refresh rate. This is because the components required for a higher frame rate are also more expensive.
Power Requirements :
Monitors with a higher refresh rate typically use more energy than monitors with a lower refresh rate. This is because the components required for a higher frame rate also require more power.
Purpose :
Not all applications require a high refresh rate. For most office applications, a refresh rate of 60 Hz is sufficient. A higher refresh rate is an advantage for gaming and other applications where smooth display is important.
The following factors affect a monitor's frame rate :
Panel type :
TN panels are typically cheaper and use less energy than IPS or VA panels. However, TN panels typically have a lower refresh rate than IPS or VA panels.
Resolution :
Monitors with a higher resolution typically require a lower frame rate than monitors with a lower resolution. This is because processing the higher resolution requires more computing power.
Technological differences :
Different screens use different technologies and panel types, such as LCD, OLED, LED, plasma, etc. These technologies have different characteristics and capabilities, which may affect the screen frequency. For example, many high-end monitors and TVs have a high refresh rate, while cheaper models often have a lower one.
Intended use :
The screen frequency often depends on the intended use of the screen. Gamers typically prefer monitors with higher refresh rates (e.g. 144 Hz or 240 Hz) for a smoother gaming experience. In other applications such as office work or graphic design, lower refresh rates (e.g. 60 Hz) may be sufficient.
Cost :
Higher refresh rate screens can be more expensive to produce, which can be reflected in the selling price. This means that not every buyer is willing to pay the price for a monitor with a very high refresh rate.
Connector Type :
HDMI and DisplayPort ports typically support higher frame rates than VGA and DVI ports.
It's important to note that screen frequency is just one of the many specifications that should be considered when purchasing a screen. Other factors such as resolution, panel type, color accuracy and contrast ratio are also important and may vary depending on individual requirements.
In the future, it is likely that most monitors will have a refresh rate of 120 Hz or higher. This is because the manufacturing cost of monitors with a higher refresh rate decreases and the demand for these monitors increases.
