Hz probably means Hertz. It's an unit that describes how many times each second something happens.

Hertz is frequency of some wave like activity e.g. sound wave, light wave, etc.

Long ago, the scientific units of measurement were descriptive; for example, "one horsepower" referred to the power that one horse could generate. Then "they" (the "International Electrotechnical Commission") decided to name all the units systems in honor of various scientists and discoverers.

One "Hertz", named for Heinrich Hertz, is one cycle per second.

Hz is the symbol for hertz, which is a unit of frequency.

TVs in the USA work on 60hz. power. Higher numbers of HZ mean the tv scans faster than standard and there will be less smearing or jerking in the picture. A good thing.

Computer Monitors also run at a specified Hz level. Hertz are not to be confused with "frames per second".
