im at 85Hz

[OSUmaxx]

I use 85 Hz. Above that doesn't really make a difference to my eyes.

[john240sx]

85Hz @ 1600 x 1200

[nealric]

75 hz on monitor 1 (its an old 21 incher that doesent like high refresh rates)

85hz on monitor 2 (a newer 17 incher)

[blackhabit]

85hz

[modenaf1]

mine is a dell trinitron 17 incher. its pretty nice. speaking of moniters, a 65inch plasma display would be nice :D

[/end thread jack]

[BGPatterson]

I use 75 hz, since there is not much difference between that, and 85 hz on my monitor.

[Titan386]

85 Hz. Anything below 70 or so hurts my eyes, but only after I started using 85 all the time. I guess I just didn't notice it before.

[DAGO]

85 Hz here as well... :)

what he said. 21" baby! *caugh* 19.8" viewable...

[JigPu]

I can't post my speed :D

It's 60Hz (..eyes scream in pain..), and I want to kill Gateway for shipping such a horrible montor with the system! A max of 1024x768@60Hz should be a crime!

Notice it's less than 60, or greater than/equal to 61. No choice for 60 itself :D

1280x1024 @90hz X2 as im on 2 crt's :D

[Penguin4x4]

1156x864 @ 85Hz, :)

[modenaf1]

well, by unckeing the box, hide modes this moniter cannot display, i got it up to 100hz!!!! but my eyes cant focus on it so im putting it back down to 85hz.


typical of the o/c er squeezes every bit of performance out of all hardware.

[TimWest]

85HZ on 19" Sony Trinitron

[ninthebin]

1156x864 @ 100Hz - 19"

[AcEmAsTr]

72mhz :P

most my poo old 15" will do

[Maxvla]

1280x960 @ 60hz :(

need a new monitor. thats the max this one will do. Philips 107s 17"

[Beast Of Blight]

60Hz@1280x1024 w/ 17inch monitor

[Captal_de_Buch]

1024x768 32 bit color @ 75hz on a 19" NEC

I'm sort of a "Large Print" kinda guy.


I like to keep the DPI at the default of 96 because I have found several windows in XP that will not resize correctly with an increase in font size... thank you microsoft.
:(

[modenaf1]

I just switched mine to 1280X1024. geez this is much nicer!!! less scrolling, more room for everyting!!

[DarkJediSleikas]

1280x960 @ 85 Hz.

1280x1024 looks funny since its 5/4 rather than the standard 4/3. Why are so many people using 1280x1024?

[DDR-PIII]

What monitor is that?

Still though 1024x768 is too bulky for me :D

[DDR-PIII]

its a philips 105e, its stock drivers refresh rate is only 60ghz, but with plug and play monitor drivers it allows 200ghz :)

[DDR-PIII]

i can also have a res of 2048x1536

[anvil82]

Does it say 200hz on the monitor's OSD, or is that just what windows says?

[stan03]

85er

[CharlesHF]

100Hz, 1024*768 here. Gateway EV900. :) 85Hz is ok, but sometimes I can still see it flicker. 60Hz is pain for my eyes.

[ninthebin]

have you clicked disable modes my monitor cant support...you may get a shock - just looked up your monitor I got this link:

http://www.dakos.gr/pdf/displays/105e11.pdf

is this it? if it is dont expect it to live much longer :)

[modenaf1]

My dell moniter wth the rinitron thing is great. my gateway EV700 on the other hand................

It has extreme trouble showing text at anything above 1024X768. its highest refresh is 60hz at anything above 1024X768. and it when i turn it on, it goes
BBBBWWWWAAAAAAAASSSSuUUUUUUUNNNNNGGGG

[nihili]

If you've posted before my note, you'll need to vote in the poll.

(Thanks to modenaf1 for the idea for this poll.)

[MoPMatrix]

100hz @ 1024x768 on a 19" proview

anything under 85 now makes my eyes bother me and sometimes give me a headache after getting used to 100hz

I'll run my monitor has high as it goes till it blows out (that already happened once :P)
Just as long as its better for my eyes, 2nd eye isnt a spair :P
eyes are worth more then money IMO :P

[filip04]

i have a 72 refresh rate, i can't go any higher... but its also a LCD so it doesn't matter, the image doesn't flash at all

[mcortz_2000]

85Hertz @ 1280x960

Viewsonic P95f

Unlocked I can run 1920x1440 @ 85Hertz....


Hehehe try that with any 19" monitor which is what I have....

[ozderf55]

1024 x 768 @ 85 HZ
Hitachi 19" CM751
Have run it @ 100 HZ but can't tell any difference

[Tw00sh]

1024 x 768 @ 85 HZ
19 incher as well

I could of swore I read something somewhere that said the naked eye cannot tell a difference above a certain point.

That the monitor would refresh your screen faster than your eyes can refresh the image you are looking at to your brain. This is also what causes the headaches if you have it too low.

[four4875]

*sniff* *sniff* my crappy 15 inch pacard bell can only handle 1024*768 at 43 hz interlaced.... *sniff*

my eyes hurt... it DOES handle 800*600 at 60 hz! oh.. that aint that great.. ehh...

[four4875]

BTW, at about 4:00 AM, my eyes start watering like mad, so i go get a drink, and relieve my bladder, and they stop for another 4 hours or so... i need a new monitor... heh

[emericanchaos]

OSD ? I dunno what that is heh lemme know what it is and I'll tell you, it says that in windows, DX and power Strip.

[toastyfishands]

just got a new monitor i have it set 1152* something i dont remeber, and its at 85hz. my old one blew up`ed it was some POS monitor that came with my "E tower" i left some clothes on it, and it was barley able to support 1024*768 and it got too hot and then it started making noises like gas leaking....i left it at 1028 but the screen started to get crappy, it didnt make any noise at 800*600, but who can deal with that sh**zy...not me

I love it :) Nearly flat screen but not too expensive for it's qualities. Monitor design itself is rather ugly, but I don't mind at all.

Beats me.....
but somehow 1280x1024 looks alot better on my monitor; not so verticaly washed out.

[madcow235]

Well seeing how many people used 1024x760 made me wonder how good it was compared to 1280x1024 so i switched just now. Wow 65hz has nothing on 96hz I love you guys

[diggingforgold]

1024x768 @ 32 bit color @ 65Hz.

Very clear and smooth image. Good monitor, even though its almost 5 years old :D.

[Preachr46]

1024x768x32bit @75hz Hitachi SuperScan 20 (11yrs old) Area to check hide specs not supported is grayed out in win xp. Choice list shows it can go to 200hz. I have tried several different configurations, but it is best where it is. Getting old, and the screen is beginning to gray out in the corners. Will be getting new one on Saturday.

[BomberBear]

my monitor is only supposed to do around 60Hz (cheap Dell) @ 1280x960 but I have it "overclocked" with powerstrip to the point that it shuts off, 72Hz.

[NiTrO bOiE]

I had to cheat w2k and uncheck the box that hides refresh rates supposedly not supported.

Went from 75Hz max to 85Hz.

[Blueacid]

Windows is set to 120Hz, but the monitor is displaying 85Hz.... but for some reason, 120Hz looks clearer :D

[Blue_Dragon1521]

me... 60hz..... i might be wrong tho..

[Ray@VSK]

75

[i2fast4u]

The human eye cant see much more than 60hz, above that and the eye cant adjust fast enough and combines the pulses to make them appear as constant. If you can see this, you have some very good vision, I wish I sould have such bragging rights on my vision. I run 74, why go too much higher? Bragging Rights I guess

[PachManP]

On a 17" Samsung sycnmaster 763mb. Gettin a 19" that can go to 1600x1200 200 refresh rate max(dunno if thats @ that refresh rate) this friday.

Peeps posting just your hz doesnt really say much unless you put down your screen resolution.
Very informative to see how good your monitor is if you put the resolution with the refresh rate and even monitor size.

Besides screen resoloution and hz , subjective info is good too .For example my CTX monitor can handle higher hz than my LG monitor but at my preferred resoloution of 1280 x 960 text in some places on the CTX looks blurry . So 1152 x 864 is what i chose on the CTX . The LG looks good at 1600 x 1200 as well but icons etc are just too small .

[Agent_Mull]

60hz @ 1024x768 on an lcd.

[Freelancer071]

Also higher refresh rates can cause blurriness. I've changed to 1280×960 about a month ago and the picture is perfect @ 100Hz. At 120Hz, it's blurry.

Anything less then 85Hertz looks horrible to me. Of course anything under 60Hertz will in fact make your eye sight worse if you spend any lenghty time in front of your computer. Number one sign is headaches

I always try to use 85Hz and above ..
Anything above that doesn't really seem to make a difference with my eyes :attn:

[Yamiyanazz]

I'm not sure. My GFX card says it's putting out 85, but my monitor says it's only displaying 75. My monitor used to say 85, but now it doens't. I'm not sure anymore.

Same monitor that I use on my back-up rig, but I run at 1024x768 @ 110hz and i can STILL see flicker on white!!!! But it's not too bad for since it was free. I use a Gateway FPD1500 (15in LCD) that I got free on my main system.

[secretweapon]

My LG flatron F900P has 85 hz for 1024x768 , 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 resolutions. Definitely makes difference after u get used to it and set it to lower refresh rates.

[Foxie3a]

Anything below 85 hurts my eyes.

I'm at 106hz, the fastest that this monitor could do at 800x600. But give it a break, its from a P1 afterall. Gotta love Zenith. :)

Primary: Phillips 105E (15") on ATi Radeon 7000 32MB DDR AGP @ 1024x768x32bit @ 200Hz

Secondary: NEC MultiSync 75 (17") on 3dfx Voodoo4 4500 32MB SDR PCI @ 1024x768x32bit @ 120Hz

My desktop is expanded to my seconday monitor :) works like a charm ;)

The Phillips will do 85Hz @ max res of 1920x1440x32bit, and the NEC will do 120Hz @ max res of 2048x1536x32bit. not to shabby for old cards/ monitors:)

I need about 100hz minimum or I'll get eyestrain, 85hz is already too low for me.
My monitor is a Viewsonic P95f 19" and it is running at 1280*960 and 100hz or for short periods at 1600*1200 and 90hz.

[Nightfall]

Just bumped it back up to 85Hz from 75 (don't know how it got there!).... Let's see if it helps with the head-aches!

[wluk]

Like most of the people here - 85hz.

[aniwarp86]

Eh, 100Htz at 1024*768. I can get 85 @ 1600*1200, but I can't see anything, lol.

[ghettocomp]

Never tried above 80 Hz. maybe I should?
Edit;
Nausea if gaming at less....

[wluk]

Never tried above 70 Hz. maybe I should?

If your monitor supports above 70Hz for the resolution that you are using, then you should try above 70Hz. You will see the difference.

[Sentential]

I use 75

[Matt761]

75 Hz on my lcd

[drs499m]

85hz at 1024x768

[JetEngineMech]

Mine's at 75, maybe I'll try higher? I dunno, lol

[spookeboom]

60 here

[Leviathan41]

85Hz

[dittohead]

85Hz @ 1600 x 1200
ill kill for that!!!

i had a 21" one...but keep blacking out...not sure why
****ed off with it...so i got a 17 LCD @ 1280x1024 @ 75hz

[CandymanCan]

@ 1024x768 i use 105hz, 1152x864 @ 95hz, 1280x960 @ 85hz, 1280x1024 @ 80hz, 1600x1200 @ 69hz.

I mainly use 1280x960 with 85hz for all my games.

[Feydd]

I use 75 hertz. For some reason when I try to set it to 80+, it will get this weird distortion on the edges of the screen.

[Sucka]

75 here, 85 makes my text blurry.

[ZGOZZ]

I was 85 on my old CRT but with my new 21 inch set at 1680x1050 I only can get it to 60 i can not tell the diffrents between the 2.

[Jimbob7]

100Hz all the way, i find online games are much smoother, alot less mouse lag.

1600X1200

85 Hz x 3, 75 Hz x 1

[Blackmage]

I can't post my speed :D

It's 60Hz (..eyes scream in pain..), and I want to kill Gateway for shipping such a horrible montor with the system! A max of 1024x768@60Hz should be a crime!


your not the only one... but i got it for 30$ off a dumb mate (its LCD too) :)

[FLESHnBLOOD]

1152x864 @ 100Hz on a 19" :thup:

[SolidxSnake]

61hz (well thats the max, i guess im running around 60.5 or sumthin) @ 1792x1344

19" ViewSonic A90f+


gaming is 120hz@800x600 or 105hz@1024x768

[BoogieMan]

Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 21" 85hz

[ozzlo]

i'm stuck at 60 hz on my laptop...... at first I coulden't stand it for more than a few hours use but now i'm used to the refresh rate and i can take between 6 and 8 hours of it draining my lifeforce away....

[ManOman]

85hz here too.
Never realized the difference back when I was just settling at 60hz, but once I tried higher refresh rates, there's no way I'm going back now :)

[veryhumid]

think i'm at 65 right now. when I turned it over 70 on my old lcd I would lock up my wimpy vid card so I keep it down low since this is really just a workstation vid watching comp.

1280x1024

[daunsociable]

1280/1024 @ 75hz(the max). wat happens if u push bewyond the manufacturer specs? will damage my beautifull LCD??

[reaper42004]

I think I got most of you beat. Old hitachi cm812 21" running at 1024x768 @ 130hz. The monitor is rated for 120. Running at 130 thanks to powerstrip

[Smokey21]

1600X1200 for games @85hz
1280X1024 for desktop at @100

[p|astic]

1156x864 @ 100Hz - 19"

highest resolution my monitor can handle @ 100hz. can handle 1280x1024 @ 90hz... since i got used to 100, anything below is just unsatisfactory. but i bet if i got used to 160hz @ 800x600, 100hz would seem unbearable.

[VWrpm]

L90d+ @ 60

[hagrid]

Both monitors run at 1280x1024 @ 85.

[Nexus Realized]

Never seen this poll before...

85Hz 1280x1024

[rseven]

Me neither, Nexus Realized.

1280x960 @ 85Hz on a 22" CRT.

I had no idea that so many others used that refresh rate. I just picked it because it looked as good as the higher settings and better than the lower ones.

72Hz/75Hz for synchronized movie playback :p

[futura2001]

85Hz @ 1600 x 1200

[VinnyTAMU]

My dell 2005FPW only does 60 Hz at 1680x1060 :cry:

man, you are totally resurrecting all the old threads around here dude.

[jiggamanjb]

man, you are totally resurrecting all the old threads around here dude.

I never look at dates :)

and that mouse pad thread I res'd is hopping now!! :clap:

[tehfrr]

75 on the LCD, 85 on the trinitron

[Evil_Eye]

75 on my crt for sharpness and to reduce moire.

[jivetrky]

I never look at dates :)

and that mouse pad thread I res'd is hopping now!! :clap:


yeah, but with a thread like this it kinda looses it's validity. I mean 3 years ago most ppl were probably using CRT's still vs LCD's ...but now LCD's have gotten way better for gaming and stuff so many/most are now using them.

[JRW]

1920x1200 @ 95hz / Sony FW900 CRT , No LCD for me as long as this monitor keeps working :)

[jivetrky]

yeah, that's one of only a handful of CRT's I'd stick with if I owned it.


But some day you might get tired of lugging around a 93lb CRT :)
(Assuming you move it...I don't imagine I would too much. But then I have a bad back :) )

[Bender]

I am on a CRT as well. Its a 21" IBM P260. I run it up to 1600x1200 @ 100hz. I never move it so I just use a friends at lan parties.

[Ascii2]

NEC MultiSync FE700+, 1280x1024 @ 66 Hz.

I have been wanting to get a new monitor.

[Robbie T]

75 1024X768

[tech2487]

its a proven fact that lower rates cause eye strain

[jivetrky]

well, that's the case on CRT's....on LCD's the normal refresh rate is 60Hz and that is just fine to the eyes. But I find on a CRT that anything lower than 75 is unbearable and makes my head/eyes hurt and can even make me sick to my stomach. But even 75 is the bottom of the threshold for me, I prefer 85hz or more (as i think most ppl do)
But 60Hz on any LCD is just fine, at least all that I've ever talked to.

[Femto]

My VA902b can do 75Hz at 1280 x 1024, I'm fairly sure.

[Janus67]

60hz lcd...

[Sephis]

2048x1280 @85Hz
24 inch trinitron

[tech2487]

On my lcd, if it is 60, i get nauseous when i play HL2. i couln't figure out why, then i put it to 75 and it was all good. i feel that 60 is better for lcd's tho. so i usually leave it on that when im not playing.

[jivetrky]

AT 1920x1200 (the native for my laptop and my old Dell 2405FPW) my displays would only do 60....but at lower resolutions they would do 75

[tech2487]

AT 1920x1200 (the native for my laptop and my old Dell 2405FPW) my displays would only do 60....but at lower resolutions they would do 75

same with mine, but i unchecked the check box "hide modes that this monitor cannot display" because the specs of my monitor say it can support 75.

WOW , this thread is from back in 9/2003 :eek:

Me thinks a new(er) poll is in order :p

[mkoersvelt]

I've been back and forth from 65-75 Hz.
Acer X203w 20" LCD.

[nd4spdbh2]

either 1280x1024 @ 100hz or 1600x1200@100hz ... i <3 my 21inch sony trinitron!

nice revival of a REALLY old thread BTW

[nasvemos671]

wow, I would have thought most people would have had it in the 60hz range you all proved me wrong!

[nd4spdbh2]

wow, I would have thought most people would have had it in the 60hz range you all proved me wrong!

you realize this thread was started MANY MANY years ago when crt's where much much more prevelant than LCD's... thus skewing the results.... i say we start a new one.

[nasvemos671]

hrm after reading this thread, I tried to see if I could up my refresh rate above 60hz and I guess my hp w2207 can't. At least there is no setting that I can find that lets me do that, any ideas?

[imperiousleader]

My Benq x2200w runs at 75hz in all 4:3 resolutions up to 1280x1024, but at 1680x1050 will only do 60hz, so give that a go, as long as it scales 4:3 res properly as mine does.

[nasvemos671]

ah yeah I did happen to see that in my monitor settings, thanks alot. Now I think I'll just keep it running at 1680 x 1050.

[freakdiablo]

wow, I would have thought most people would have had it in the 60hz range you all proved me wrong!

Old thread, if they remade it Im guessing ~95% would probably 60-69hz.

(and an update, now its 1440x900 60hz for laptop, 1920x1200 60hz desktop)

[rseven]

This is an ancient thread from 2003 that gets resurrected now and and then. Yes, the results would be very different if taken today. I'm one of the few die hards still using a dinosaur CRT. The thing is huge and I have to feed it a stray dog or cat about once a week. :eek:

Cheers! :beer:

[Conaway]

I have always been using 1680x1050 @ 60hz. My monitor's max is 75hz but only at 1280x1024. Is there a way I can force a higher resolution with this refresh rate?
