I can't post my speed :D

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!

your not the only one... but i got it for 30$ off a dumb mate (its LCD too) :)
 
61hz (well thats the max, i guess im running around 60.5 or sumthin) @ 1792x1344

19" ViewSonic A90f+


gaming is 120hz@800x600 or 105hz@1024x768
 
i'm stuck at 60 hz on my laptop...... at first I coulden't stand it for more than a few hours use but now i'm used to the refresh rate and i can take between 6 and 8 hours of it draining my lifeforce away....
 
85hz here too.
Never realized the difference back when I was just settling at 60hz, but once I tried higher refresh rates, there's no way I'm going back now :)
 
think i'm at 65 right now. when I turned it over 70 on my old lcd I would lock up my wimpy vid card so I keep it down low since this is really just a workstation vid watching comp.

1280x1024
 
1280/1024 @ 75hz(the max). wat happens if u push bewyond the manufacturer specs? will damage my beautifull LCD??
 
I think I got most of you beat. Old hitachi cm812 21" running at 1024x768 @ 130hz. The monitor is rated for 120. Running at 130 thanks to powerstrip
 
1156x864 @ 100Hz - 19"

highest resolution my monitor can handle @ 100hz. can handle 1280x1024 @ 90hz... since i got used to 100, anything below is just unsatisfactory. but i bet if i got used to 160hz @ 800x600, 100hz would seem unbearable.
 
Me neither, Nexus Realized.

1280x960 @ 85Hz on a 22" CRT.

I had no idea that so many others used that refresh rate. I just picked it because it looked as good as the higher settings and better than the lower ones.
