How to Check Your Monitor Refresh Rate
Your monitor refresh rate is how many times per second the screen redraws the image, measured in Hertz (Hz). A 60Hz display refreshes 60 times a second, while a 144Hz gaming monitor refreshes 144 times. A higher refresh rate makes motion, scrolling, and gameplay look smoother.
This monitor refresh rate checker works by measuring your browser's real frame rate. Because browsers sync animation to your display, the frames per second we count closely matches your actual screen Hz. Click Start Refresh Rate Test, wait a few seconds, and the tool locks in an estimated value.
Tips for an accurate reading
- Close other browser tabs and demanding applications.
- Plug laptops into power — battery saver modes often cap the refresh rate.
- Set your OS display settings to the highest available refresh rate first.
- Keep this tab focused and in the foreground while it measures.
Once you know your refresh rate, run our monitor test suite to check for other display issues like dead pixels, backlight bleed, or screen burn-in and image retention.
