What is 60 fields per second?

"60 fields per second is like watching 60 different pictures flash by really fast, so fast you think it’s one smooth movie."

Imagine you're sitting in front of a flipbook. Each page has a little drawing, and when you flip through them quickly, they look like a moving picture. Now, 60 fields per second is kind of like that, but instead of pages in a book, it's tiny images on your TV or phone screen.

Each field is one of those little pictures, like one frame of the movie. If you have 60 fields, that means 60 of these little pictures are shown every second. When they go by fast enough, your brain can't tell them apart, it feels like smooth motion.

Think about when you're playing a video game or watching a cartoon. The more fields per second there are, the smoother everything looks. It's like having more pages in your flipbook, the faster you flip through them, the better the movie looks!
