A touch display and method for controlling the same are provided. The touch display includes a gate driver circuit, a touch sensor and a display panel. The method includes: when the touch sensor detects no touch input signal, the gate driver circuit outputs a plurality of first gate signals to the display panel at a first frequency; and when the touch sensor detects a touch input signal, the gate driver circuit outputs a plurality of second gate signals to the display panel at a second frequency. The second frequency is smaller than the first frequency.
