What is Refresh Rate?

The refresh rate is the number of times per second that an LED screen updates its image, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Why does an LED screen flicker when filmed with a camera?

The flicker occurs when the refresh rate of the screen is lower than the frame rate of the camera. To avoid this, choose screens with at least 3840Hz if they are going to be filmed.

Is 1920Hz enough or should I ask for 3840Hz?

1920Hz may be sufficient for events where close filming will not occur. For professional recordings and live broadcasts, 3840Hz is the minimum recommended standard.

When is it worth paying for 7680Hz?

Opt for 7680Hz in high-level productions where image quality is critical, such as in live-streamed concerts or large-scale events filmed with high-speed cameras.

Does the refresh rate affect the image resolution?

No directly, but a low refresh rate can cause flickering or visual desynchronization, affecting the perception of quality. Resolution is a separate factor.

What refresh rate do I need if I am going to stream the event live?

For live broadcasts, a refresh rate of at least 3840Hz is recommended to avoid flickering and ensure a smooth and stable image.

How do I verify that the provider actually delivers the promised refresh rate?

Request a live demonstration of the equipment, use cameras to film the screen at different speeds, and check the technical specification in the contract.

What mistake do buyers make when comparing screens solely by price?

The most common mistake is prioritizing cost over refresh rate, which can result in poor image quality and flickering issues, especially in filmed events.
