What Is Ment By 'Refresh Rate' ?

Question: And What Difference Does It Make Changing It ?

Answer: The refresh rate is how often a computer monitor 'redraws' the screen. On an old fashioned CRT monitor, a faster rate is better because a slower rate can flicker. With an LCD monitor, a faster rate means the display should be able to keep up with a high frame rate in a fast game. In general, it's usually best using the highest rate your screen will support, using whatever resolution you are comfortable with. Higher resolutions usually have a slower refresh rate because there is more information to redraw each time, so unless your screen and graphics card can support both, you'll need to pick some compromise.
