No, I meant what I said. The article says “hz” and so do other phone manufacturers offering the same feature. It may be marketing wank or technically incorrect but that’s what it’s referred to as.
But, hz of a monitor is not like a car blinker or CRT televisions where it’s off in between the updates. It is on in between the updates, it’s just not the new image. In which case it doesn’t matter how slow your performing the updates because the pixels are just on with a static picture in between the updates.

1 Hz is 1 fps. Hertz = cycles per second

I know what hertz is, I’m en electrotechnician. The display’s refresh rate is measured in hertz, and has to be at least 40 Hz or you suffer from headaches and some from photosensitive epilepsy. But the image (frames per second) does not have to change that often. For example, movies are 24fps but 35mm film projectors are 72 Hz: they flash each frame 3x before advancing because 24 Hz is seizure-inducing but using a unique picture for each refresh (72 fps) is expensive.

That’s some pretty confidently incorrect posting. Most gaming displays these days have some flavor of adaptive sync available that adjusts the refresh rate to the content being displayed, and even before that there were film modes that set the refresh rate to the ~24 fps(or a multiple if it) that film content is at to avoid stuttering/tearing.
This is likely the bottom of the adaptive sync window and will only be used if the machine is idle

I edited it, I thought all OLEDs worked like this little one where the pixels turn off between refreshes. Turns out there are TFTs that keep them on. Thanks for teaching me this.

You may be an electro technician but you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about so it’s pretty irrelevant to through around credentials.
Here’s a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn’t matter how fast it’s updating it’s not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM

What’s the deal with Lemmy being so abrasive all the time. Sometimes I think some of us should be put in time out with just hacker news for a month to teach us some manners…

Well, on some they aren’t.
