Monitor Questions

[caravel]

My current monitor is a samsung syncmaster 793df set at 1152 by 864, 75 hertz refresh(highest for this resolution). What settings can i change to reduce Damage to the eyes.

Also the monitor I'm thinking of getting is a LCD 19" DVI 8ms response. What other specs should i look for? does refresh matter on LCD's?

He wanted advice on the refresh rate of the CRT monitor not the LCD that he's thinking of getting, if understood correctly.

I dont think so. Who cares about the one your replacing. And what resolution is best for MTW2? And whats better?

1280 x 1024
1920 x 1200
1680 x 1050
1600 x 1200
1440 x 900
Its so confusing.

A flat panel monitor means it will be further a way from the eyes so thats a bonus.

I will look at 5ms response rates and better

I got contrast up to 95 and brightness down to 5 and can see colours on monitor fine.

change res to 1024*760(or whatever) and refresh to 85hz

So higher refresh is good
Higher contrast is good
and lower brightness is good

Look in you monitor manual for the native resolution of your monitor (it should be marked), it's best to play in this resolution (though I forgot why ).

That's if it's an LCD monitor, for a CRT one, just go as high as your videocard will allow (with decent framerate and effects).
