Monitor Question

[orcutt989]

What exactly does this do? My monitor was currently set on 60hz, but then i changed it to 85 hz, and things became more aliased. I'm not sure which is better, higher, or lower?

higher is better, aparatnly to an extent (never did find this extent with my monitors ).

Around 75-100 is apparantly best

It makes the moinitor refresh faster, reducing, umm, flicker it hink it is called, and it is better, doesn't make u sickk and stuff, gives me headahces when it is really low.

I see, but it gives me a headache when its higher? So it is like a flourescent light? How they flicker like 1million times a second? And when some people can see that, they get head aches?

Well my monitor is a Plug and Play monitor, and Intel, and other companies made these monitors user-friendly, so they only give you the refresh rates that are most compatible for your operating system, how the graphics card and monitor communicate, so i set mine to 85hz, and i guess i will just have to get used to it. I dont know what the problem is, i made a post about this a long time ago, but for some reason different shades of grey, just show up as black. So when i want to make a certain font a color, and that little winow pops up, to pick the colors, the different shades of colors, are the same color. Such as the different shades of black. And it is hard to see some movies and pictures because all i can see its mostly black, and some dark figures, whereas with my friend's PC's, you can see them just fine. Argh, maybe my graphics card is just worn out. The colors, contrast, and brightness are all the way up on my monitor.

I remember that post, ya sounds like it is either a graphics driver problem (they have brightness and stuff in their config) or it is ur monitor...

Lower I think would give you a headache . What does your moniter support ? In display properties , check hide modes this moniter can't display . Last thing you want to do is HOOP your moniter . I have a top of the line VIEWSONIC PRO set at 85 no problems. But I'm older with eye troubles .
