Yeah, I cannot see it. Maybe you could tell us if it says &#39;Sony&#39; or something like that??? Also its model number.

I live in sweden so it has swedish letters too.

Compaq FS740-färgbildskärm (<---this means "color monitor" or something like that)

why not go to the compaq website and try to find the specs of the monitor

would that not be the first place to look. ;)

[amphoteric88]

right click on the desktop, and select properties.
go to the settings tab then advanced.
then click on the monitor tab and check the option that says: "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"
then just go to the refresh rate pull down menu and look for the highest value at your chosen resolution.
hope this helps

does this mean that I cant get 100 fps when playing games at the solution 1024x768 ??

[Schmiggy_JK23]

no it doesnt.

If you use vsync, at 1280 x 1024, the most fps you will get is 60 cuz vsync lets ur fps go no higher they ur refresh rate...

most people i know who game, at least my CS friends, dont use vsync, cuz it sucks, and getting better fps is usually better feeling then having ur montior rate, and fps in sync. so turn off vsync, is my reccomnedation, and get what ever fps ur card will give you...

I always just keep my refresh rate set to &#39;Optimal&#39;. That seems to work best for me.
