VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)
VRR lets the display refresh in lockstep with the game’s frame rate instead of at a fixed cadence, eliminating tearing and smoothing the stutter you feel when frame rate wanders. It is especially valuable on handhelds, where hitting a locked 60 is hard and frame rates dip under load. Not every panel supports it, and support can be limited to a range of refresh rates — worth confirming on the spec sheet, because on a device that swings between 40 and 60 fps, VRR is one of the most felt features there is.
