ODBXXX Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (Hz); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 Higher is better, assuming your monitor can support it. I run both my monitors at 85Hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS yes increase it to 75hertz, the advantage is, if it is a CRT you wont see it flicker as much, and your eyes wont hurt as often. if it is a LCD, there is really no difference. because a LCD truly doesn't refresh.

Swimmer Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 it means that the screen is redrawn faster.. which should equate to a better picture.. Again LCD it doesnt really matter.. response time is more important that refresh rate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 It usually equates to less headache when working with CRTs. I get a headache within minutes when running 60 Hz... which is why I run this 19" at 85, and the 17" at 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure "Hide modes this montior cannot display" is checked. Then you don't have to worry about incompatible modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
