Refresh rate test

Your browser draws one frame per screen refresh. This page counts those frames to measure your display’s Hz.

Seeing 60 Hz on a faster screen?

Set it in the system

Windows: Settings › System › Display › Advanced display › Choose a refresh rate. Mac: System Settings › Displays › Refresh rate.

Check the cable and port

Older HDMI cables and ports cap many monitors at 60 Hz. Use DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 or newer.

Plug the laptop in

Laptops often drop to 60 Hz on battery to save power.

Check the browser

Turn on hardware acceleration and keep this tab in front. Mixed-refresh multi-monitor setups can hold a window at the slower rate.

Questions

Is FPS the same as Hz?

Hz is how often the display refreshes; FPS is how many frames something draws. A browser draws once per refresh, so here they match unless frames are dropped.

Why does the number jump around?

Other heavy apps, background tabs or power saving can delay frames. Close other tabs and leave this one in front for a few seconds.

Can it measure 240 Hz or more?

Yes, if your browser draws that fast. Some browsers cap frame rates, so a lower result can be the browser rather than the monitor.
