Sick no more! Thanks guys!

I've had my 19" Envision for about three weeks now, but due to me finishing up the semester in college, it mostly sat at home un-attached to my desktop PC. I've been using it a lot latly, and I'm noticing a lot of motion-sickness type nausea right now. I'm running it at 1280x1024 at 60hz, should I try other refresh rates? I'm fairly sure that's it, as I had it hooked up to the monitor - out port on my laptop for a week or so , as well as my mandrake linux box, never had a problem with it then (or course, it was at 1024x768 then too). I'd like to keep this higer resolution, but I'm not opposed to switching if I can use the PC w/o feeling sick. I just switched it to 72 hZ it seems a little better but its not perfect. Anyone else with this monitor at this resolution who can offer a suggestion?

Edit:

Going to 85hz refresh rate solved it. Thanks guys!

I have the same problem with a 17 inch compaq monitor when I play MAME32 games. I am sure it is due to the refresh. I run everything else at 85hz and I have no problems..

If you can try to run the refresh rate at 85 Hz or at best 75 Hz. For gaming you may need to get Nvreffix because there's a bug in NVIDIA's drivers under Win2k/WinXP that defaults everything to 60 Hz.

Trying 85hz how. It seems better, I don't feel as sick

75hz is the bare minimum if you dont want to strain your eyes.
85hz is the ideal
85hz+ if you can get it--the better!

One thing i notice w/ 85hz+ is sometimes with lower end monitors, the quality fo the image drops! For my AOC 17 incher (AOC is a branch of Envision btw) i notice that anything above 75hz lowers the image quality. At 100hz, it's substantially lower. Just a thought.

Yes indeedy, here's the link to download the NV Refresh Rate Fix.
