         8 . The display apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
 based on a frame rate of the content being identical to the first frame rate, increase the frame rate of the content by performing frame interpolation on the content, and   adjust the horizontal resolution of the received content and vertical resolution of the received content.   
     
     
         9 . The display apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to, based on receiving a command to increase a frame rate being input, adjust the horizontal resolution of the received content and vertical resolution of the received content. 
     
     
         10 . A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
 receiving content; and   based on a frame rate of the received content being greater than a first frame rate of a display panel, displaying the received content by concurrently driving two or more gate lines of a plurality of gate lines of the display panel, for displaying one pixel line in a frame of the content of the second resolution,   wherein the display panel comprises the plurality of gate lines each connected to pixels in a row of the display panel and a plurality of data lines each connected to pixels in a column of the display panel.   
     
     
         11 . The display apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the display panel is configured to drive a frame of a first resolution at the first frame rate,
 wherein the displaying the received content comprises:
 adjusting a horizontal resolution of the received content to a horizontal resolution of the display panel and adjusting a vertical resolution of the received content to half of a vertical resolution of the display panel; and 
 displaying the adjusted content at a second frame rate, the second frame rate being greater than the first frame rate. 
   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the displaying the adjusted content comprises concurrently driving two adjacent gate lines of the plurality of gate lines.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the displaying the adjusted content comprises repeatedly displaying a one pixel line of the adjusted content through two adjacent gate lines of the plurality of gate lines. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the display panel is configured to display a one frame for a first time corresponding to the first frame rate, and
 wherein the displaying the adjusted content comprises displaying a one frame of the adjusted content for a second time, the second time being less than the first time and corresponding to the second frame rate.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first frame rate is a maximum frame rate, which the display panel is capable of outputting, and
