[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1946316, member: 333068"] I'm still confused about the refresh rate on my 2023 M2 mini with Sonoma. When I go to Settings & click on Displays & then click on Refresh rate, I see 50 Hz, 60 Hz & 75 Hz. It's set on 75 Hz. There are no problems with the display. no tearing, no rolling, nothing. Are the listed refresh rates in Settings based on the monitor( 1080P) or are they based on the M2's capability? I've had the Dell since October 2017. Sometimes when I turn on the computer, I see snow or the entire display is magenta. I hope that is because the monitor is 7 years old & when I'm not using the mini, the monitor is in standby. So, basically it's been on nonstop since October 2017. Based on the specs on the Apple website, if I choose a 4K monitor or HDTV, the refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz, I guess based on the capability of the GPU & CPU. Is my assumption correct? I'm on the Best Buy website. I searched for 27" to 32" 4K & full HD monitors. One option is to choose the refresh rate. They go from 60 Hz to 360 HZ. No option for 50 Hz. I chose 60 Hz & 75 Hz. My choices were narrowed down considerably! Does Apple make any computers with a high refresh rate like 360 Hz? So, based on what I presented, do I limit my search for a monitor(or HDTV, full HD or 4K) with a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz? [/QUOTE]
