Half right . . .

IF they saw better, they would care.

My elderly neighbor has lived with 60hz for the last three years (win98/333Mhz and el cheapo e-machine integrated graphics) . . . when I set her up with my old computer (WinXP/1.2ghz Tualatin Celeron/Radeon Videocard), SHE NOTICED and MUCH prefers 85Mhz on her 17" CRT.

Aww come on, no comments?

It hurts my eyes at 60Hz unless I use a very low res,when I had my 19" CRT I kept it at 85Hz,now I`ve a LCD it doesn`t matter .I know some people prefer 100Hz or even higher ,however on my old 19" CRT I always found the best image quality was at 85Hz even though it could run at higher refresh rates that was within the recommended settings.

60Hz is just sick
I hate looking at the screen running that low a refresh rate!!!!!!
some monitors only support 75 around here, but thats still worlds better than 60!

Desktop with my CRT 85Hz is good. Video, 60Hz is fine whether its my monitor or TV's.

60Hz is very good for interrogations, don't ask why.

It's a funny thing. I supervise a bunch of people who all work from 19" monitors. 800x600 res and refresh at 60. If I try and change any of these settings they freak! This ain't no joke. I can look up from where I'm sitting right now and that's what I see...weird.

I'd rather goto sleep with a stobe light in my room than look at a 60hz monitor for 2hours. It would drive my crazy, even at 85hz i see a tiny bit of flicker in the corner of my eye, i used to run 100hz but i bumped up the res and how i can only run 85hz max.

Oh yea, and the guy with the sony @ 60hz, the monitor probably is just getting old and can't refresh it right at above 60hz, if you look at a new monitor @ 100hz the difference is night and day.

Have senn some people that just got used to it I guess. I personally can't stand it, I'll get a headache in minutes.

On CRTs it now gives me a headache in five minutes. It sucks when they lock down every friggin option on a PC and you can't fix the refresh rate.

First thing I do when I reinstall windows... change the refresh rate to 85 or higher. Then cleartype.
60 Hz: I can't stand this at all.
75 Hz: Bearable for a few minutes.
85 Hz: Nice.
100 Hz: Really nice.
120 Hz: Heavenly, but I have to run a lower res.

same reason why some ppl have screen resolution at 640x480 and end up with those *gigantic* icons!
