    Topic Idea that I believe is not mentioned in this thread: How old is this monitor and how well has it been tested and revisions, etc been done to prevent those possible oddities in new technologies? I mentioned this new monitor to a friend, and he pointed out this idea. He said that past...

For now I wish that...

    thx a ton, that does help Though i am aware u should never force a monitor to do settings it cannot do, but Gateway claimed this monitor CAN and SHOULD do 75hz, even their techi guys were telling me i just wasnt doing it right, which is stupid, anyone can change a refresh rate. And of course...
