To fine tune the refresh rate for your display

Refresh rate refers to the frequency at which the entire screen is refreshed. Specifically, refresh rate indicates how many times per second the electron beam in the picture tube is moved from top to bottom in the case of a CRT (analogue display). Note: This frequency is limited by the display’s maximum horizontal scan rate and the current resolution, as higher resolution implies more scan lines.
