What should my refresh rate be?

I have an vp912b running at 1280x1024, Asus Radeon 9600XT with the newest Omega drivers. Currently it's at 60hertz. I can choose between 70, and 75. What should it be? What are the advantages/disadvantages?
 
The higher that your monitor supports, the better.

I couldn't even work on a monitor that ran under 85 Hertz. I run mine a 100 Hertz.

 
I believe the human eye can detect the flicker at less than 72hrtz so anything less than 70 will cause eyestrain if looked at to long (CRT's). I would say the higher the better as well. My monitor is at 1280 X 960 at 84hrtz (CRT) and I don't notice any flicker.
 
75 for sure, if you get everest home edition, it will tell you the max supported frequency, and you can uncheck "only display settings my monitor can support" if windows is wrong, and set it to what everest says.

It doesn't matter on an LCD Screen, Different technology than a CRT, 60 Hz is just fine. Anybody that says they can see a difference on an LCD are wrong. It comes down to the mindset from older CRT monitors where it did make a big difference.

LCD has no electron guns or phosphor dots etc... Just a bunch of electronic devices.
