My new laptop shipped set to 59Hz. Should I change it to

it doesn't matter

Not OP but what exactly is the reason for 59Hz existing as a standard?

I can understand 60Hz becasue America has 60Hz AC and 30Hz television.
Why go down 1Hz?
Bonus point if something to do with Jews.

Saving 1hz per monitor saves costs for the jewish companies over time. For every 60 monitors they build, they can build an extra one literally for free out of all those saved hertz.

Why 23.976 FPS is a standard when 24 FPS exists?

The jews stash that 1 hert

>The NTSC field refresh frequency in the black-and-white system originally exactly matched the nominal 60 Hz frequency of alternating current power used in the United States. Matching the field refresh rate to the power source avoided intermodulation (also called beating), which produces rolling bars on the screen. When color was added to the system, the refresh frequency was shifted slightly downward to 59.94 Hz to eliminate stationary dot patterns in the difference frequency between the sound and color carriers, as explained below in "Color encoding".

That 23.976Hz is derived from this 59.94Hz

Is "59Hz" really 59.94Hz? - becasue that would make sense.

Intel's thing and speccy are both just reading it as 59, so I couldn't tell you.

>>56343803
The difference between 59 and 60 isn't that much, so I'd say just leave it alone.

Ah, I've found it:

>Microsoft answer:

>Certain monitors report a TV-compatibility timing of 59.94Hz. Therefore, Windows 7 exposes two frequencies, 59Hz and 60Hz, for every resolution that is supported at that timing. The 59Hz setting makes sure that a TV-compatible timing is always available for an application such as Windows Media Center. The 60Hz setting maintains compatibility for applications that expect 60Hz.

>In Windows 7, when a user selects 60Hz, the OS stores a value of 59.94Hz. However, 59Hz is shown in the Screen refresh rate in Control Panel, even though the user selected 60Hz.

tl;dr: "59Hz" is really 59.94Hz.

Thanks Microsoft Corporation.
