Change Refresh Rate on Your 16-Inch MacBook Pro - Easy Steps
It is mentioned in Apple's official support document that you can adjust the new 16-inch MacBook Pro's refresh rate. If you're unfamiliar with the technique, that's what we're here for. There are a series of steps that you must follow and a few options that you can choose from.
Apart from this Apple also notes that you can set the refresh rate of the display to match with the refresh rate of the video that you're viewing or editing. You can adjust the frame rate with 47.95, 48, 50, 59.94 and 60Hz options. Do take note that you can only adjust the refresh rate on your new 16-inch MacBook Pro and previous models are left out of it. This is what you have to do.
According to Apple simply choose the refresh rate that divides evenly into the frame rate of the content that you're viewing or editing. For instance, if the video that you're viewing is set at 24 frames per second, select the 48Hz refresh rate.

2. Press and hold the Option key and select the Scaled button.
3. Now, the Refresh Rate dropdown menu will appear.
