| What is the correlation between a LCD monitor's millisecond rating and a CRT monitor's Refresh Rate? |
| ANSWER |
ms vs hz Milliseconds and Hertz are inversely proportional. 1 second = 1000 ms, and 1 hz = 1/s. So to convert 15ms into hz it would be 1 / (15 ms * 1 s / 1000 ms) = ~67hz
Here is a small chart detailing some of the more common LCD ms ratings and their relationship to Hz. Notice the non-liinear relationship between milliseconds and hz. As milliseconds get smaller, the corresponding hz gets larger a lot faster.

| Inversley, to find ms from the hz rate, use (1/hz)*1000=ms |

The easy formula is simply 1000/(LCD ms rate) to get a FPS (Hz) number for comparing LCD to CRT.
With gaming machines capable of 100+ FPS in a game you need a monitor capable of displaying them.
A CRT running at 85Hz is 85FPS displayable.
To display 100FPS you'll need an LCD monitor with no more than a 10ms refresh rate.
A 5ms LCD monitor is capable of 200FPS! |
