What refresh rate do you use?

[pitupepito2000]

I'm just curious, I was using 75Hz and I was noticing that it was really starting to hurt my eyes, now I have changed to 85Hz and it has made a real improvement. What refresh rates do you guys use? What refresh rate do you consider to be good for eyes?

Thanks in advance,

your poll sucks! I don't see any polls...

85 Hz. My monitor (Viewsonic A70f) is a couple years old, and a 17". 85 Hz is the highest rate at which it will do 1024x768.

No clue on the one CRT in my life. At work I get LCDs, and I'll probably be using the PB more often.

Use 2 LCDs at home and 1 at work.

When I did have a CRT, I usually ran at 85hz.

Look again

 

[Chaotic42]

120Hz

wow, it seems that a lot of people are using LCDs, but they are still very expensive compared to a CRT, you can get a decent 19" CRT for under $200, on the other hand a 17" LCD is still pretty expensive

i'm one of 'em 75 hz guys. on my dad's desktop at least- because it can't handle any higher refresh rates. thats why i prefer my laptop

 

[Cerb]

85Hz. I used 90, but my current card/drivers lacks it as a selection.

 

[Anubis]

75 or greater

 

[pitupepito2000]

What about your eyes? at what resolution do you guys start to notice the flicker?

 

[Evadman]

1024 x 768 x 85 hertz

 

[pitupepito2000]

anybody else?

 

[DaWhim]

LCD or 85hz

 

[Insane3D]

On my two 19" trinnies I run a 1280 x 960 @ 100hz for the desktop, and games @ 1600 x 1200 @ 85hz.

 

[GhettoFob]

85

wow, what monitor is that?

 

[Insane3D]

KDS (Sony) AV-195TF.

 

[Bassyhead]

85Hz

 

[jjones]

85, anything less gives me eye strain.

 

[Amused]

100Hz. For some reason I can't stand anything lower if the OS is XP.

75Hz and higher on 9x or 2K was fine.

 

[eplebnista]

75Hz

 

[abaez]

1600x1200 100hz wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[clamum]

1024 x 768 @ 60 or 65 Hz (can't remember). That's the highest the monitor can do at 1024, which blows. I might just switch to 800 x 600 cause it's way easier on the eyes although I loose desktop room.
