Frame rate refers to the number of individual frames or images displayed per second in a video or animation. It is typically measured in frames per second (FPS). A higher frame rate results in smoother motion and better visual quality, making it essential for video games, movies, and other visual media. Common frame rates include 24 FPS for films, 30 FPS for television broadcasts, and 60 FPS for video games. Some high-end displays can even support frame rates of 120 FPS or higher, providing an ultra-smooth viewing experience, especially in fast-paced action scenes.
