Refresh Rate vs Response Time: Full Comparison

Both of these concepts deal with speed, but at totally different levels. Do you need one more than the other? If you’re trying to compare refresh rate vs response time, read on.

This is the concept that refers to the number of times a monitor sends out an image. It’s measured in Hertz, which represents how many times an image can be shown per second.

Refresh Rate: What Your Monitor Can Do For You

The response time is the time it takes for your monitor to change the color of a pixel.

Response Time: How Long is Too Long?

The refresh rate has more potential to improve image latency than response time, with exceptions. Anything over 120Hz will become hardly noticeable.

Is refresh rate more important than response time?

5ms or less is a good response time for gaming. Reducing your input lag will also improve your gaming experience in this area.
