Refresh rate is measured in Hertz (Hz), a unit of frequency. Support for a given refresh rate requires two things: 1) a video card capable of producing the video images that many times per second 2) a monitor capable of handling and displaying that many signals per second. The refresh rates are standardized; common values are 56, 60, 65, 70, 72, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110 and 120 Hz. This is for compatibility between video cards and monitors. Most individuals notice flicker at refresh rates below 60 Hz. Many individuals have a problem with flicker at 60 Hz. Some individuals see flicker at refresh rates above 60 but below 72 Hz. A small percentage of individuals notice flicker at 72 Hz. Very few people notice flicker at refresh rates above 72 Hz.
