Everything You Need to Know About High Refresh Rate Screens – Why 120Hz is the New Standard

What is Refresh Rate?

The refresh rate refers to how many times per second a display updates its image, measured in Hertz (Hz).

  • 60Hz = screen refreshes 60 times per second (~16.7ms per frame)
  • 120Hz = screen refreshes 120 times per second (~8.3ms per frame)

A higher refresh rate means smoother motion, reduced blur, and a more lifelike experience—especially when scrolling, gaming, or watching fast-paced videos.

Why Does High Refresh Rate Matter?

Human eyes are more sensitive to motion than static images. When motion exceeds the limits of a 60Hz display, our brain perceives “choppiness” or lag.

  • 60Hz → acceptable for static viewing, more power efficient.
  • 120Hz → cuts frame intervals in half, filling the visual “gaps,” creating a silky-smooth effect that feels closer to reality.

👉 Once you get used to 120Hz, going back to 60Hz feels noticeably less fluid.

iPhone Series and 120Hz Refresh Rate

Most iPhone models only support 60Hz refresh rate. Starting from the iPhone 13 Pro & Pro Max, Apple introduced 120Hz ProMotion technology, which has since continued in the Pro models of iPhone 14, 15 and 16.

According to the latest reports, the iPhone 17 series is expected to adopt 120Hz refresh rate across the entire lineup, not just the Pro versions. This marks a major shift, showing that high refresh screens are becoming the standard for all iPhones.

While 120Hz delivers a premium user experience, it also raises repair costs if the display is damaged. That’s why 120Hz high refresh rate aftermarket screen replacements are in high demand.
