Mondak · 07-06-2003, 03:29 PM

Right now I have two monitors in the house. My wife's is a 15 Inch LCD from Dell and mine is a 19inch CRT. There was a big sticker on hers across the entire screen demanding that I use a screen refresh rate of 60Mhz.

With that out of the way, how do I know what to set mine to. The settings are incremented by 5 from 85 - 60 Mhz. What are the pros and cons of setting to either end of the spectrum?

Thanks a lot of the help.
