Poll: Monitor Refresh Rate

Beast Of Blight · May 10, 2003

60Hz@1280x1024 w/ 17inch monitor

Captal_de_Buch · May 10, 2003

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.

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

DarkJediSleikas · May 10, 2003

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 · May 10, 2003

What monitor is that?

Still though 1024x768 is too bulky for me

DDR-PIII · May 10, 2003

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

DDR-PIII · May 10, 2003

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

100Hz, 1024*768 here. Gateway EV900.

85Hz is ok, but sometimes I can still see it flicker. 60Hz is pain for my eyes.

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

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 · May 12, 2003

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

)
Just as long as its better for my eyes, 2nd eye isnt a spair

eyes are worth more then money IMO

filip04 · May 12, 2003

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 · May 12, 2003

85Hertz @ 1280x960

Viewsonic P95f

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

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

ozderf55 · May 13, 2003

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

Tw00sh · May 14, 2003

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.

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