| 67277 | 2002-08-01 11:07:00 | Susan: Well I would give you a link to where KJ has said something along the lines of that. But the freaking server died (again) at OCNZ. So the forums are down. :( Mike: I totally agree. Anything below 75Hz is not very nice. I'm currenty running 85Hz here. |

| 67278 | 2002-08-01 11:10:00 | Since november Ive had 3 x 19"proview monitors(I bought 1 & kept taking it back for replacement) & I took them back because I wasnt happy with the picture,I ran a monitor test program & when I displayed a red picture it had blueish looking blotchs on it. In the end I paid a few more dollars & got a philips 109s lightframe 2. & Im not very happy with the picture on the philips either. (looks like the proviews Ive had) Hmmmmm looks like another trip back to the dealer soon. cheers Steve |

| 67279 | 2002-08-01 11:22:00 | No worries JM, I'll take your word for it. I've no intention of running a monitor at those top resolutions, it was just to demonstrate a comparison. My 15" monitor is run at 800 x 600 (don't know what refresh rate ) so I'd probably go for the next one up on a 17" - 1024x768? That's at up to 89 Hz on the Phillips, which is quite good, isn't it? It looked OK in the shop. |

| 67280 | 2002-08-01 11:22:00 | >70hz really hurts groan ;-) >I run my 15" at 1024x768 how the hell do you see anything? i run mine at that, tho refresh rate is a very nice 100hz. 75 is bareable. 60 just makes my eyes water, 85 is good and 100 marginally better :) SUSAN just remember the monitor is the least upgraded part and the most expencive. get a good one. |

| 67281 | 2002-08-01 11:29:00 | That's what I'm trying to do tweak'e. ;-) I know you've got a bee in your bonnet about Phillips, but you can't really fault their 107T can you? I can't find anything else better than that in a 17" that I can actually look at in a shop. |

| 67282 | 2002-08-01 11:36:00 | lol susan....i love them so much <puke> lol if the money is minimal i would go 19". philips should still be ok. i don't here about to many faults with them concidering the amount of them that are out in the field. |

| 67283 | 2002-08-01 23:24:00 | Actually it's the girls that say size matters :). We in the Know It All World say power matters too. (Go Tim! ArrrrHoooghhhh) "yeah go Greg" Oops - that was from the other half! lol Regarding the monitor - my 'pence worth is.. go for 17 - better quality vision at less desk space for the price - the Phillips 107T is what I'm picking up next Saturday - it's got great specs, small small desktop footprint, great support, as well as low price (below 400.00 incl) I'm an avid puter gamer, graphics player as well as square eyed F1 user. |

| 67284 | 2002-08-01 23:45:00 | (Sorry to butt in on your thread Susan B, but you may be interested in this) Speaking of Philips monitors, I have the Philips 17" (107S) and it interferes with our television reception - causes fast repeating wavey lines across the screen - has anyone ever come across this problem?? My monitor is a couple of rooms away from where both the tv and the aerial are. I am positive is it the monitor causing this as when I turn the power button off/on the lines disappear/reappear! |

| 67285 | 2002-08-01 23:54:00 | It could well be the monitor, but the fault lies with the TV system, in that it indicates you do not have a suitable aerial or have a marginal signal in your area. If you are using an indoor aerial, then an external one would cure it. As an aside, it never ceases to amaze me that most people will spend often thousands on a television system and refuse to give it a proper signal..like buying a Mercedes and running it on kerosine. It will go, but not as well as it was meant to.... |

| 67286 | 2002-08-01 23:57:00 | Thanks for the fast reply godfather :-) We do have an external aerial, but you are right it could possibly be to do with the aerial/signal. Thanks! |
