The 16-inch MacBook Pro is turning out to be a true work of art in a small space. The components used have improved greatly. Its Retina display is not only the largest ever made in a MacBook Pro, but also In addition, the refresh rate can be adjusted.
This laptop, when it was launched, there was talk that it was especially intended for those people who regularly work with image editing, either static or dynamic.
Adjust the refresh rate of the MacBook Pro's big screen
The 16-inch MacBook Pro It is the first Apple laptop to feature an adjustable screen refresh rate. This is especially useful for video editing workflows. For the first time ever, you can match the screen of your MacBook Pro to the frame rate of the video you're watching or editing.
What does this really mean? The refresh rate of a screen is especially useful to know, it can mean the quality of the images seen in it.
It basically means that how many times it is able to display the image per second. It is expressed in hertz. Normally the refresh rate of normal screens is 60 Hz. The new 16-inch MacBook Pro gives us the possibility to choose that number of times per second. In this way we can work more precisely, fundamentally in video editing.
Apple itself advises select the refresh rate that is divided evenly with the rate of the frames we are currently viewing. That is, if the images have been recorded at 24 frames per second, Apple recommends that it adapt to 48 hertz. In this way it will be updated twice for each recorded frame.
Let's see how we can choose the refresh rate we want at the precise moment:
- Select System preferences in the Apple menu.
- Click on the icon Screens in the System Preferences window.
- keep up pressed the Option key and select the Scaled button.
- In this way we are forcing the refresh rate menu to become visible. We just have to choose the frequency we want.
Don't forget, to leave everything as it was, normally at 60Hz, because if not, the images may look a bit weird.
You can choose between these speeds:
- 60 Hz
- 59.94 Hz
- 50 Hz
- 48 Hz
- 47,95 Hz
