| 443931 | 2006-08-14 12:07:00 | Interesting topic... Just our of curiosity, what should the refresh rate be set to on a CRT monitor? Is higher better? And does running the screen resolution larger use more cpu power? Cheers. M. |

| 443934 | 2006-08-14 23:59:00 | Interesting topic . . . Just our of curiosity, what should the refresh rate be set to on a CRT monitor? Is higher better? And does running the screen resolution larger use more cpu power? Cheers . M . On a CRT monitor, you want the refresh rate as high as possible (provided the monitor can handle it!) I usually run them at 1 step down from their highest rated refresh rate . (check the box 'Hide modes that this monitor cannot display') 60hz gives real bad flicker and I'm sure isn't too good for the eyes LCD however need only be run at 60hz as they don't flicker, most can't handle more than 60hz anyway, and running them higher is pointless (if only to increase maximum FPS while playing games if you have v-sync enabled) And for resolution, the higher you have that, the more video card power (to be precise: video RAM) is needed . your CPU will not factor in too much . |
