Phone LCD Screen Refresh Rate Explained: What Repairers and Wholesalers Need to Know

June 27, 2025

Why Does the Touch Experience Feel Worse After Repair? You Might Have Chosen the Wrong Refresh Rate!

Many iPhone users—especially those with Pro models—often say after a screen replacement:

“Scrolling isn’t smooth,” “Animations don’t keep up,” or “It doesn’t feel like the original.”

The issue may be that you installed a screen with a refresh rate that does not match the requirements.

The latest iPhone Pro models feature 120Hz displays for ultra-smooth performance. If downgraded to 60Hz, users will quickly notice the lack of fluidity, particularly when swiping between apps or navigating dynamic content.

What Is Refresh Rate?

Refresh rate refers to how many times the screen updates per second (measured in Hz). The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the experience, especially when scrolling, switching apps, or playing games.

Refresh Rates	Customer Experience
60Hz	Standard Fluidity
120Hz	Ultra-smooth, just like the original

Which models require high refresh rate screens?

✅ iPhone 13 Pro / 14 Pro / 15 Pro: These models support dynamic refresh rate (ProMotion).

📌 Important Reminders:

⚠️ Replacing with a 60Hz or fixed refresh rate screen will directly affect smoothness and battery efficiency.

🚫 Non-Pro models do not support high refresh rates, so using a high refresh rate screen won’t improve the user experience, and only increases cost.

What Problems Can Arise from Using the Wrong Refresh Rate Screen?

Customers may complain that the screen is “not as good as the original” or that “scrolling isn’t smooth,” leading to increased repairs, screen replacements, and explanation costs. Negative reviews and a damaged reputation can harm your store’s credibility.

✅ Therefore, verifying the authenticity and technical specifications of high-refresh-rate screens is crucial. Choosing the right supplier helps reduce after-sales issues, improve reputation, and build long-term success.

Is it a genuine high refresh rate screen, or a low-quality product that claims high refresh but delivers low refresh?
Does it have a fixed 120Hz refresh rate, or support dynamic refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz?
Are the refresh rates clearly labeled, and is there actual side-by-side test data to support the claims?
