The frequency of screen flickering should be discussed only for owners of CRT (tube) monitors. Since modern manufacturers mainly produce liquid crystal modifications. In the case of the former, increasing the screen frequency reduces eye strain and prevents headaches. You can eliminate unpleasant flickering using standard operating system tools.

Instructions
Step 1
Open the "properties" option on the desktop by clicking on it with the right mouse button. In the window that opens, find the "parameters" tab on the right edge. Activate the "Advanced" button (bottom right).
Step 2
A window opens with the default "General" tab. Find the menu item "monitor", which will describe its type and parameters. In the second block ("parameters") select the screen refresh rate that is available for your monitor. If you do not know or are not sure about the capabilities of your equipment, use the auxiliary function "hide modes …" (you need to click in the empty square). As a result, modes not supported by your monitor will disappear from the drop-down list of frequencies.
