I really like running my res at 1280 x 1024. But I can only get a refresh rate of 60 hertz, which gives me eye strain. Lower res I can different refresh rates.

also, is a higher refresh rate "better"?

Should I just get a better monitor?
It is personal choice for the most part.
The higher the refresh rate the easier on the eyes.
What sort on monitor do you have currently? 15"?

This is what I run:
Primary (Viewsonic E90fb): 1280x960 @ 80Hz 19"
Secondary (POS no name): 1024x768 @ 85Hz 15"

Even at 80 and 85Hz I still have problems, I mostly attribute these to a partially dead POS Viewsonic.
