Often, buying the next monitor and looking at its characteristics, you can notice among them the column “maximum frame update”, but on the contrary, the value with the note “Hz”. What is this parameter? What is he responsible for? How to know the gertsovka monitor yourself? Anyone interested can easily find the answers to these questions below in the text devoted to this topic.
What is a gertsovka monitor?
Before you figure out how to find out the hertz of the monitor, it would be advisable to find out what it really is. First you need to remember how the most primitive device for demonstrating “moving pictures” works. At the very beginning of the development of animation and cinema, these pictures, or rather frames, were motionless, and the illusion of their movement was created due to the rapid change of images, slightly different from each other, while for our eye, due to its structure, everything merged into a single dynamic the scene.
So, hertz is a measure of how many frames a device can show us in a conventional unit of time.
It's no secret that in those distant days, when the cinema was just beginning its victorious history, it was watched at a frequency of 24 frames per second, which was already enough for the image to come to life and not resemble a separate slide show. However, if you carefully look at the samples of the old cinema, you will notice a significant difference - the modern picture will seem to you more clear, smooth and rich. So what's the deal? Everything is actually much simpler than many might think. To date, the refresh rate of the frames of an ordinary monitor or TV is 60 Hertz and higher. Based on this, it can be assumed that the greater the gertz of the device, the higher the image quality. And this assumption is absolutely true.
Easy Ways to Test Hovering
Method number one is suitable for frugal users who prudently saved all or at least the main technical documentation that comes with your monitor. The fact is that the manufacturer is obliged to indicate all the characteristics of the device, including the gertsovka, which is discussed in this article.
The second method is suitable for less fortunate users who, due to various circumstances, do not have access to the above documentation. All that needs to be done is to enter the name of the manufacturer of the monitor and its serial number in any search engine, and then select from the list the link to any online store in the range of which this device is present. With a high degree of probability, on the page with the description of the goods will be indicated and its characteristics, among which must be present and gertsovka.
Among other things, if you are tormented by the question of how to find out the monitor hertz on a laptop, do not despair. A similar method also applies to laptops, with the only exception that you will have to enter the name and series of the entire laptop in the search line.

Now you should please those people who are used to doing everything themselves, without outside help, clearly and quickly. It is for such users that there is a software way to determine the parameters of devices connected to a computer.
The algorithm for finding out the monitor hertz differs slightly depending on the version of the operating system, so this article will give two options: for the version of Windows 7 and 10.
To determine the monitor hertz on the tenth version, proceed as follows:
- Call the context menu by right-clicking in an empty place on the desktop.
- Select the “Screen Settings” field.
- In the window that opens, go down and select the “Advanced display settings” section.
In this section, a list of parameters will be offered, among which, opposite the line “Update frequency”, the desired value will be indicated.
How do I know the gertsovka monitor on Windows 7?

- Next, go to the “Advanced Settings” section.
- In the window that opens, select the “Monitor” tab, where you can find out the dips of your device.
Important! Before setting the monitor frame refresh rate yourself, make sure how many hertz your device is designed for. Exceeding this parameter may result in damage.
