Hello theoradicella,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, you're not seeing the Refresh Rate pop-up menu in the display settings on your MacBook Pro. We'd like to help!
"For professional workflows such as video editing, you can set the refresh rate of your display to align with the frame rate of the video you're editing or viewing.
Available refresh rates
You can switch between these refresh rates on your Retina display:
- 60 Hertz
- 59.94 Hertz
- 50 Hertz
- 48 Hertz
- 47.95 Hertz
On 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon, you can select ProMotion for an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz.
Change the refresh rate
Choose a refresh rate that divides evenly into the frame rate of your content. For example, if the content you’re viewing is 24 frames per second, select the 48 Hertz refresh rate.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Displays.
- Click the Refresh Rate pop-up menu and choose a refresh rate.
When you're done viewing or editing the video content, you might want to change your refresh rate back to the default for your display.
In macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur, press and hold the Option key and select the Scaled button to display the refresh rate menu.
