ate frequency.

Vertical Frequency: In order to display an image, the screen must be refreshed dozens of times
per second like a fluorescent lamp.
The number of times the screen is refreshed per second is called vertical frequency or refresh rate
and is represented by Hz.
y
Horizontal Frequency: The time it takes to display one horizontal line is called the horizontal
cycle. The number of horizontal lines displayed in one second
can be calculated by dividing one by the horizontal cycle. This is called horizontal frequency and is
represented by kHz.
