Display Refresh Rate Test

Accurately measure your display refresh rate (Hz) and test animation smoothness. Visual FPS counter shows real-time frame rate, helping you verify if your display is running at its advertised refresh rate. Useful for gaming or high-refresh-rate monitor verification.

Standard displays run at 60Hz (60 frames per second), while gaming monitors can reach 144Hz, 240Hz, or even 360Hz.
