refresh rate

re·fresh rate (plural re·fresh rates)


noun 
Definition:
 
regeneration rate for screen image: the number of times per second that an image displayed on a screen needs to be regenerated to prevent flicker when viewed by the human eye. The refresh rate is dependent upon the persistence of the material used on the screen and the retina's retentivity.
