One prominent feature of gaming laptops is their higher refresh rate displays. Most modern gaming laptops boast screens with at least a 120Hz refresh rate, while some high-end models even offer up to a 360Hz refresh rate.
This higher refresh rate, compared to the standard 60Hz of typical laptops, results in smoother in-game visuals, particularly when supported by the machine’s CPU and graphics capabilities.
Some gaming laptops may lock the refresh rate to a lower number to conserve power. Whether you own a gaming laptop or are considering purchasing one, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to select between various refresh rates on a gaming machine.
Regardless of the laptop brand, adjusting the screen refresh rate on a gaming laptop running Windows 11 OS is a straightforward process, requiring just a few simple steps.
Right-click on the home screen and select ‘Display settings’.
Scroll down on the display settings menu and select the ‘advanced display option’.
Click on the ‘Choose a refresh rate’ option and select one from the drop-down menu.
In this case, there are three options 60Hz, 75Hz, and 144Hz, third being the smoothest.
Once the new refresh rate option is selected, the screen might go black for a second, and then, select the ‘keep changes’ option.
There is also a second way of changing the refresh rate on a Windows laptop within the ‘Display settings’ menu. That is a little more detailed.
From the ‘Display settings’ menu, click on ‘Display adapter properties for display 1’.
From the next menu, select the monitor option and click on the screen refresh rate, which offers more options.
In this example, it offers nine different screen refresh rate options, starting from 24Hz to going up to 144Hz for a more granular refresh rate control.
