Why would refresh rate cook anything? If the pixel was on continuously, it doesn’t cook anything, then why would modulation matter? It’s not like you’re increasing intensity.
Theoretically. I mean, by the current laws of physics an analog display is at the infinite limit of refresh rate. In practice, though, existing consumer digital circuits take energy to refresh.
My line of thinking was that a higher refresh rate uses more power, so the monitor gives off more heat. If you could continue to increase that unbounded, without stopping for silly things like safety regulations or power draw, that you could eventually get to a refresh rate which would cause the monitor to boil the user alive - a la what-if.xkcd.com
