Can someone explain monitor refresh rate to me?

[Windows Central Question]

What is refresh rate? I'm looking at getting a new monitor. Seems the smaller numbers are better, quicker, or something? I have noticed that, I think, anyway. Can someone explain it to me and hopefully even suggest what I should get?
