Being a prepress- and sysop for eight years now with every days work behind a monitor (and @ home aswell) I can now even see a refresh rate of 85Hz at a resolution of 1152x870, while it used to be fine previously, so I tend to set the refresh rate to 100Hz if the screen can handle it. Luckily my main monitor @ work can handle this. About the house current, in Europe TVs operate @ 50Hz, but even this is starting to bug me, luckily there are 100Hz TVs available so when I have to replace my current set up I'll opt for that! BTW it seems that I am the only to see those low-to-me refresh rates here at work, but also at other places; some people don't even notice that a monitor is operating @ 60Hz, am I really the only one? -- there's no place like 127.0.0.1 * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
