OSUmaxx · 05-09-03, 11:36 PM

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

john240sx · 05-09-03, 11:41 PM

85Hz @ 1600 x 1200

nealric · 05-09-03, 11:52 PM

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 · 05-09-03, 11:55 PM

85hz

modenaf1 · 05-10-03, 12:31 AM

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

BGPatterson · 05-10-03, 12:37 AM

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

Titan386 · 05-10-03, 12:44 AM

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 · 05-10-03, 01:01 AM

85 Hz here as well...

JigPu · 05-10-03, 01:20 AM

I can't post my speed

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

deathstar13 · 05-10-03, 01:30 AM

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

Penguin4x4 · 05-10-03, 01:47 AM

1156x864 @ 85Hz,

modenaf1 · 05-10-03, 10:10 AM

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 · 05-10-03, 10:18 AM

85HZ on 19" Sony Trinitron

ninthebin · 05-10-03, 11:12 AM

1156x864 @ 100Hz - 19"

AcEmAsTr · 05-10-03, 11:14 AM

72mhz :P

most my poo old 15" will do

Maxvla · 05-10-03, 11:14 AM

1280x960 @ 60hz

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

60Hz@1280x1024 w/ 17inch monitor

Captal_de_Buch · 05-10-03, 11:50 AM

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 · 05-10-03, 02:48 PM

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

DarkJediSleikas · 05-10-03, 09:25 PM

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 · 05-10-03, 09:42 PM

I win, 200hz 2 1024x768x32-bit

What monitor is that?

Still though 1024x768 is too bulky for me

DDR-PIII · 05-10-03, 09:48 PM

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

DDR-PIII · 05-10-03, 09:53 PM

i can also have a res of 2048x1536

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