60Hz test
Find out whether your screen is actually showing 60 frames per second. Frame time at 60 Hz is 16.67 ms.

Top lane updates at 30 fps, bottom at 60 fps (capped at whatever your display actually shows). If both look the same, you are not getting 60 Hz. For a detailed graph see the full refresh rate test.
Who has 60 Hz displays
Standard office monitors, most TVs in normal picture modes, and older laptops.
Getting 60 Hz working
- Pick 60 Hz in the OS. Windows 11: Settings → System → Display → Advanced display → Choose a refresh rate. macOS: System Settings → Displays → Refresh Rate.
- Cable and port: Any modern HDMI or DisplayPort cable carries 60 Hz up to 4K.
- In games, set the in-game refresh rate (if offered) to 60 Hz and make sure the frame rate cap isn't lower.
If a high-refresh monitor reads 60 here, it is usually still set to 60 Hz in the OS, or connected with a cable/port that can't carry more.

Questions people ask
How do I know if my monitor is running at 60 Hz?
Open this page and wait a few seconds. If the estimate settles near 60 Hz, the browser is receiving 60 frames per second from your display. You can also check Windows Settings → System → Display → Advanced display, or macOS System Settings → Displays → Refresh Rate.
Why does my 60 Hz monitor show a lower number?
If a high-refresh monitor reads 60 here, it is usually still set to 60 Hz in the OS, or connected with a cable/port that can't carry more. Also check that the cable goes into the graphics card rather than the motherboard, battery saver is off on laptops, and hardware acceleration is on in the browser.
What cable do I need for 60 Hz?
Any modern HDMI or DisplayPort cable carries 60 Hz up to 4K. Exact limits depend on resolution, colour depth and whether the monitor uses Display Stream Compression (DSC), so check your monitor's manual.
Is a browser refresh rate test accurate?
It estimates refresh from requestAnimationFrame timing, which browsers align to the display. It reliably separates 60, 120, 144 and 240 Hz, but it is not a lab measurement, and variable refresh (G-Sync, FreeSync, ProMotion) can move it.
