In order for the user to see what is happening on the screen now, he is constantly updated. Frames on it are constantly changing, and the more often this happens - the better for your eyes.
In addition to the frequency of updates, you should make sure that the resolution on your screen corresponds to the recommended parameters, because this will greatly increase the usability of the computer and ease eyestrain.
The frame refresh rate is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is believed that the optimal value for LCD monitors will be 60 Hz, and for monitors with an electron-beam design - at least 85 Hz. The setting of these parameters depends on the monitor model, video card and the correct installation of drivers for them.
Setup menu in Windows XP
All parameters related to changes in appearance and display of images are, as a rule, in the “Properties” menu, which you can access by right-clicking anywhere on the desktop. Next, you need to find the tab "Options", there select "Advanced", and here should be the menu "Monitor". When you open it, you will find a drop-down list, which will be titled “Monitor Frequency”. Review the settings and select the necessary.
Location settings in Windows 7
We click with the mouse on the table, however, this time we are looking for the item "Screen resolution". In the window that appears, go to the "Advanced Settings" tab and find the "Monitor" menu. Here are the variants of Hertz's monitor that can be changed.
Why do we need these settings and what do they affect?
For a start, we note that if you did not find such menus on your computer, there is a possibility that the drivers are installed incorrectly, or these parameters can be configured elsewhere. It is also possible that changing the specified settings is not provided by the developer, and the recommended settings are automatically set on the device.
If you have an AMD video card and the AMD Catalyst control Center program is installed, open it by clicking on the small white arrow on the right side of the taskbar. There, go to the “My Digital Flat Panels” tab and select the “Custom Permissions” item. Create a new configuration and manually configure all the necessary parameters. I would like to note right away that the recommended parameters are set here, and they should be answered for their change and consequences. There are a lot of them there, so check everything carefully and find out before applying the settings.
In addition, the range of frequencies available for tuning depends on the resolution of the display. The higher the resolution, the lower the possible frame rate updates. Therefore, you should not specifically increase the resolution of the display.
Do not set low rates. If you notice a screen shake, that is, it is updated, it adversely affects the health of your eyes, and working in such conditions is not that difficult and not comfortable, but highly undesirable. If you have a modern monitor, do not select the “interlaced scanning” item, even when the frequency value increases and the image seems normal - this is a hoax. This technology was used in analog cameras, television and home video systems, however, in the newest monitors it has given way to the so-called progressive scan.
Also, do not chase too high frequency update settings. If you see that you are given a choice of values of 100 and 120 Hz, choose 100, this will help avoid the effect of “blurring” the image.
At the end I would like to say that for ordinary users the best option would be to use the default parameters. After all, they are taken for a reason, the linkers probably know what their creation is capable of and in what conditions it will satisfy the user to the maximum. In case you do not see or do not know the recommended settings for your device, use the world wide web, the benefit there now you can find absolutely everything.
