About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about display refresh rate focus on Microsoft's evolving support for high-refresh-rate displays in Windows 11. Recent threads cover the March 2026 update enabling refresh rates above 1000 Hz, as well as Insider builds that widen OS-level refresh-rate handling.
