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

    Question Re: Monitor Questions

    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).
