Hey all 19"Monitor owners!

I detect no difference between 60 hz and 85 hz. Is there some other difference/advantage aside from flicker prevention?

Do you have bad eyes? Just about everyone can tell the difference between 60hz and 85hz. 60hz is really bad for your eyes. I know using my 15&quot; at 60hz for a few years has made my eyes worse, noticeably.

1.) Gateway
2.) VX900
3.) 1024x768 - Seems to be easiest on my eyes
4.) 32bit - Ooh boy its purty
5.) I have it set to &quot;optimal&quot; should I change it or not?
6.) Well according to my purtyyyyy little Radeon specs, this bitch of a monitor maxes at 1600x1200 with a 160 Hz Refresh. Not sure if thats true, but if it does, kickass! Plus, I have idiots in my house, so its nice to have a &quot;degauss&quot; button and for the most part changing my screen around in game is really ez. I don't use anything above 1600x1200 for gaming anyway. I intend to keep this puppy until it dies. (Or when they make decent, cheap, LCD screens that go 1600x1200)

why is 60 hz bad for your eyes? Links? Proof? Urban Legend?
