LCD Refresh Rates Higher than Optimum = trouble?

[hkazemi26]

I have the Dell 1900fp, rated at 60Hz optimum refresh rate at 1280X1024. The comp gave me the option of running it at 72Hz, which i have been for a few months now. Just wondering if this may in anyway shorten the life span o the device or cause any other problems. It looks better at 72Hz is why i am running it at that rate.

anyone? any ideas?

The refresh rate of an LCD is restricted by its response time. I imagine the refresh rate you set it to is far above what the response time allows. You have nothing to worry about.

you should run it in 60hz
usually the image quality is better

for lcd, is not more hz the better

for LCD, lower is better.
Hitachi says so.

i changed it back to 60Hz, but i think it looks the same, although initially i thought it looked better is why i changed it if i remember correctly. anyhow, i had the "hide refresh rates my monitor cannot display" box checked and it still gives the options of 70 and 72.
