ʻO ka mea mua e pono ai mākou e hoʻokumu "He aha ke ʻano o ka refresh rate?" ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi ʻaʻole paʻakikī loa. ʻO ka helu hōʻano hou ka helu o ka hōʻike ʻana i ke kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia i kekona. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo i kēia ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana iā ia me ka frame rate i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a i ʻole nā ​​pāʻani. Inā paʻi ʻia kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni ma 24 mau kiʻi i kēlā me kēia kekona (e like me ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni maʻamau), a laila hōʻike ka ʻike kumu i nā kiʻi like ʻole 24 i kēlā me kēia kekona. Pēlā nō, hōʻike ʻia kahi hōʻike me ka helu hōʻike o 60Hz e hōʻike ana i 60 "frames" i kēlā me kēia kekona. ʻAʻole ia he papa, no ka mea, e hōʻano hou ka hōʻike i nā manawa he 60 i kēlā me kēia kekona inā ʻaʻole hoʻololi hoʻokahi pika, a hōʻike wale ka hōʻike i ke kumu i hānai ʻia iā ia. Eia nō naʻe, he ala maʻalahi ka hoʻohālikelike e hoʻomaopopo i ka manaʻo kumu ma hope o ka refresh rate. ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka refresh rate no laila ʻo ia ka hiki ke mālama i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe. E hoʻomanaʻo wale, e hōʻike wale ana ka hōʻike i ke kumu i hānai ʻia iā ia, a no laila, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka helu hoʻomaha kiʻekiʻe i kou ʻike inā ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kāu refresh rate ma mua o ke kiʻekiʻe o kāu kumu.

Ke hoʻohui ʻoe i kāu mea nānā i kahi GPU (Graphics Processing Unit/Graphics Card) e hōʻike ka mea nānā i nā mea a ka GPU e hoʻouna aku ai iā ia, i kēlā me kēia kiʻi kiʻi e hoʻouna ai iā ia, ma lalo a i ʻole ka palena kiʻekiʻe o ka nānā. ʻO ka wikiwiki o ke kiʻi kiʻi e hiki ai ke hana ʻia ma ka pale me ka maʻalahi (Fig 1), me ka hoʻemi ʻana o ka motion blur. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia i ka nānā ʻana i nā wikiō wikiwiki a i ʻole nā ​​​​pāʻani.
