The most frustrating thing is if the whole world agreed to a definition of something that your brain refuse to understand.
Every single website said that response time is the time it takes for color of pixel to change, but It is not enough definition for me.
The reason i am having trouble is because i learned the definition of refresh rate years before i discovered response time, and i am confusing between the two, here's why:
Refresh Rate, such as 60hz, means the monitors can display 60 framesa second, and each frame is different from the other, so the colors of pixels change in every frame, which means the monitors can change colors of pixels 60 times. In other words, 60 refresh rate means colors are changing 60 times a second and each time is equal to the other, so response time of 60hz is 1000ms divide by 60, which is 16.66, which means colors change every 16.66ms. So refresh rate tells you how many times colors of pixels change in one second, and response time tells you the time it takes to change color of pixels one time only. I am lost.
I have received answers like:
1) it is just hardware capability of the monitor
2) 5ms is fine
3) response time is the time it takes to change color of pixels
None of the above has helped me, it just made it worse
Please i would really appreciate your help
