Arcade displays require consistent refresh rates to maintain smooth gameplay and visual quality. The most common prevention methods include implementing Vertical Synchronization (VSync) which synchronizes the game's frame rate with the monitor's refresh rate, eliminating screen tearing. Many modern arcade systems utilize adaptive sync technologies like G-Sync or FreeSync that dynamically adjust refresh rates to match content frame rates. Proper cabinet maintenance ensures stable performance through regular monitor calibration, capacitor replacement, and voltage regulation. Additionally, developers often implement frame rate limiters to prevent exceeding the display's maximum refresh capability. Environmental factors such as temperature control and power stabilization also contribute to consistent refresh rates. For legacy arcade systems, signal conversion and refresh rate matching between original hardware and replacement displays remains critical. These methods collectively ensure arcade monitors maintain their intended visual performance and gameplay experience.
