Whats the best Refresh rate on a CRT monitor? If so can someone please post the link so i can see it because im willing to buy it.

I want it under 1000 if possible, and i need very nice refresh rate and the best support for a Ti 4600 card.

I don't uinderstand why people like to run rated > 85Hz. You can't perceive any flicker at rates 75Hz or over.
The problem with high refresh rates is that is can make pixels blur (blurry text).
I personally run 75Hz most of the time, 85Hz sometimes (I can't see a difference).

I can, especially when i get it up to 144 hz. Secondly i want my FPS in game to be high, 100 preferably.

You may have to excuse my ignorance here but I didnt think refresh rate had anything to do with FPS. Isnt FPS determined by your videocard and other hardware and would remain the same no matter what monitor you were running it on?

Well, if you have a good graphics card, quite often you can run games at faster framerates than can be placed on the monitor, so its the bottleneck.

Guess I should complain to my parents about the defective eyes they gave me. I sure as hell can tell a difference

Is this true. I was using 60hertz, and man my eyes are really bad now. I went from 20/20 to border line glasses now i should get them so much clearer.

My parents said it waqs me using to much comp but i just said no im ok. I guess i should take breaks every 15 minutes but heck who does that?

Gotcha ;) , I just always thought that the refresh rate of a monitor was much higher than whatever the graphics card could throw out.

Looks like I need to do reading....
