It's funny. I just backed the KDS down to 1024x768@85hz, and don't really notice a difference from 120hz. > I've used 120Hz with a Yosemite and a Sawtooth AGP, > both with the standard > Rage graphics card. > > The 120Hz setting wasn't automatically listed, > though it was there when > choosing All settings in the Monitors control panel > (or holding down Ctrl > when using the control strip).

It's either the refresh rate, or substandard workmanship. I don't think it could the Trinitron tube, so I suspect the latter... Alex __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
