Windows 11 to Support 5000Hz Monitors
Microsoft will expand high refresh rate display support in Windows 11 through an upcoming update, adding support for monitors up to 5000Hz.
Details of the Windows 11 update are available on the Microsoft website and emphasize that "monitors can now report refresh rates of 1000Hz or higher."
However, Mark Rejhon of Blur Busters, which has been urging Microsoft to expand support for higher refresh rates, says the actual upper limit for Windows 11 is much higher at 5000Hz.
"Also, several manufacturers have confirmed that they are already developing 2000Hz displays to be released by 2030," Rejhon said.
Launch of 1000Hz Monitors Imminent
Brands such as AOC, Philips, TCL, and Samsung are scheduled to release various types of 1000Hz and 1040Hz LCD monitors in 2026. However, it is expected that 720Hz OLED monitors will still significantly outperform these LCD monitors in terms of motion clarity.
Can the human eye actually detect such high refresh rates? Blur Busters explains "yes" in this article and encourages the industry to aim for 10,000Hz or higher for "retina refresh rates" in the future.
Of course, this is a story for the future. For now, we are welcoming the arrival of 1000Hz LCD monitors, and we look forward to OLED products following soon. To move beyond that stage, the spread of new technologies such as HDMI 2.2 and next-generation DisplayPort will be necessary.
