| 322954 | 2005-02-09 07:46:00 | My Philips monitor has been running at 60 Hz. I have increased it to 80 and is better. Is it detrimental to increase to 80? | Tick1 (6970) | ||
| 322955 | 2005-02-09 07:53:00 | I have a newish phillips 107e and I run it at 85 it handles it perfectly......if your monitor isn't TOOOOOOOOOOOOO old it should handle 80 easily | drcspy (146) | ||
| 322956 | 2005-02-09 07:54:00 | If it can handle it it shouldnt be a prob. Mines on 85! and a OK. I haveta have this on 75 or 85. Anything under it doesnt stretch the desktop to the size of the monitor. |

| 322957 | 2005-02-09 08:05:00 | Have you unchecked "hide refresh rates that this monitor cannot handle (words to that effect) in display settings ? If you have and your monitor is an old phillips you might have problems. If u haven't you should be sweet. |

| 322958 | 2005-02-09 08:29:00 | check that its actually running at 80hz. you should be able to tell by the look of the picture otherwise use the minotor controls to bring up the frequency readings. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 322959 | 2005-02-09 08:43:00 | mines only running at 60hz, so if you have a old monitor does that mean you cant get higher refresh rates? whats the difference between a monitor running witha refresh rate at 60hz and one at 80hz? why would you increase the refresh rate? | Prescott (11) | ||

Well assuming you are talking about CRTs - the difference between 60 hz and 80 hz is your brain won't explode. Seriously, the flicker at 60 hz personally causes me headaches. I know that some people can't tell the difference but I'd reckon they would be in the minority. I've seen some people use some pretty old out of focus, flickery CRTs. It can be good for your eyesight, if your CRT can't do 75 hz then you should invest in a better second-hand one. |

| 322961 | 2005-02-09 21:41:00 | Many thanks for replies. Monitor now working good. | Tick1 (6970) | ||
| 322962 | 2005-02-11 08:43:00 | easy way to tell if your monitors refresh rate is set too low, is to look past your monitor, just above perhaps to the back wall.... if you can see it flickering, then it's set too low. Most people can't see 75, but i still can... so set it to 85Hz is best. If you have sensitive eyes, get headaches, then i suggest an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Panel. These don't have a refresh rate, are clearer and easier on the eye.... yea and don't settle for a cheap brand, would recommend Philips any day! |
