I'm not buying a new monitor...

 

However, I was looking up some specs on a CHEAP monitor, just used a second screen, on my 3rd PC.  Its an Element ELEFW2217M,

 

I pulled up the specs from the Element Page, and Under "Features" is has the following:

22" monitor...

Horizontal Freq: 30 to 80KHz

Vertical Freq: 60-75KHz

 

I'm wondering... When they are talking about KHz in this case, I'm guessing it's really suppose to be Hz?

2nd, when EVERYONE else talks about 60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz ect, is it the Horizontal or Vertical they are talking about?  

OR, is it an AVERAGE of both numbers?

(I think it's just the Vertical, but I figured I'd ask.. I'm mainly wondering Why they are saying "KHz" instead of "Hz")

 

What would you call the "Refresh Rate" of the monitor I have, since CLEARLY I'm not sure how to read these number...

 

Thanks

 

P.S.

Horizontal refresh rate is the number of lines per second, which is the number of lines per frame times vertical refresh rate.

 

For example, 1080p has 1080 lines. At 60 Hz vertical refresh rate, every refresh goes through all 1080 lines, so the horizontal refresh rate is 60 × 1080 = 64800 Hz (or 64.8 kHz).
