Monitor Questions

Yeah, but not everybody listens to their mom

If your current resolution is only giving you 75Hz lower it to the next one down (1024*768 in your case I think), this should give you an 85Hz refresh at least. There is a big difference between 85Hz and 75Hz as far as eyestrain is concerned. Personally I find 75Hz uncomfortable and 60Hz intolerable. I can see the flicker at 75Hz. Though I know a few people who can sit in fron of 60Hz and not see the flicker. They only realise it's there after a few minutes when their eyes get sore.

LCD monitors don't go past 75 Hz I believe. I find 70Hz tolerable, but get a splitting headache with minutes when lokking at a 60HZ display.

Another hint: don't up the resolution too much (make the text size too small), I find many peple turn their resolution up to the point where the text is virtually illegible by me (I haven't got the greatest eyesight, mind you). If a book were printed that small peopel would complain but for their monitor it's fine

I also find CRTs more comfortable then LCDs, for the record...
