15061	2001-07-05 07:58:00	I just bought a 17' LCD monitor and windows appear to be quite sluggish when dragged around on the screen. In addition, when the wheel between the two mouse buttons is used, the screen often scrolls painfully slowly when there is a lot of text to be displayed in the window. Is my computer too slow (Pentium III 550 with 128MB RAM), is my graphics card not good enough (do I need a DVI interface) or is it just a fact of life that all LCD monitor owners have to put up with sluggish graphics and slow response rates on the screen? Obviously I'm hoping for a solution to this problem :)	Guest (0)

A CRT monitor and a LCD monitor both have different horrizontal refresh rates (screen update) You should have (hopefully) gotten some software with your LCD screen, check that for refresh rate settings, esp horrozontal. If not try refresh rates under adapter in Display settings.	Guest (0)
