We are going to introduce you to online platforms to verify your screen refresh rate. The refresh rate is the maximum number of frames per second that a screen can display. Today, the standard refresh rate for screens is “60Hz”, meaning it can display up to 60 images per second.
Having a screen with 60Hz (Hertz: Cycles per Second) is very good when watching a video, because videos have a frame rate of about 25 to 29 FPS. But when it comes to graphic design or viewing game graphics, 60Hz falls short and we need a screen closer to 120Hz. For this reason, we are going to present you three online tools that will help you determine the refresh rate of your screen.
UFO Test
UFO Test is a website that has several tools to calibrate and test your screen. Its utility for determining the screen refresh rate starts immediately once you load the page. After the scan, you will see the results in the tool's interface. It also offers services to verify frame rate, pixels per frame, and pixels per second.
VSync Tester
VSync Tester is another very good online platform to verify the refresh rate of your screen. The service needs a web browser with HTML5 support to work correctly. The site will automatically calculate your screen refresh rate and show you the results in its interface. The utility also shows you the response delay of the screen.
Framerate Tester (Deviant Art)
We will finish with Framerate Tester from Deviant Art. The online tool we are interested in is “Framerate Tester”, a service that tests the frame rate of the screen and compares it with the real frame rate. For the environment to work, you will need to have “Flash” installed and enabled in your web browser, so this is one of the worst options, but it is still an option. From its interface, you will see an animation showing the frame rate calculation and at the top you will see the refresh rate of your screen.
With the online tools to automatically verify your screen refresh rate, you will know exactly the hertz of your screen and will also get some additional services for testing.
