60hz is fine with you but read this.



Ever have headaches after staring at your screen?

Maybe your computers monitors screens refresh rate is too low and your screen flickers. Many users are used to the flicker, or your eyes are not sensitive enough to detect it, but the flicker is there. And till it flickers, it will irritate your eyes and cause eye strain. Higher refresh rates are less likely to cause eyestrain



Increase Monitor Refresh Rate

What is the refresh rate?

The refresh rate (or frequency) refers to the number of times per second that the video board redraws the entire screen.



How to change the refresh rate

In Windows XP



•Go to Control Panel>Display

•In Settings> Advanced>Monitor

•Always Check the box for ‘Hide modes that this monitor cannot display’ to avoid hardware disputes. This will then give a drop down list of refresh rates that your monitor safely supports and you may set it up without error. You may also check your manufacturer’s documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.

•And then increase the monitors refresh rate. Most users agree it should be 75 Hz or more for optimal results. My computer was set to 60 Hz, the minimum by default.

Note: If you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged. Also note, Some monitors shiver at higher rates and some of the higher resolutions and color depths may be unavailable at the higher frequencies.



My computer displayed resolutions from 60Hz to 200Hz. When I clicked the ‘Hide modes that this monitor cannot display’ box, the choices were only few from 60-80Hz. So I was glad I did not mess up by selecting a higher value which my CRT monitor did not support. I decided to select the recommended 75Hz. Increasing the refresh rate setting to 75 Hz has made a marked improvement and got rid of the headaches.

replace the video drivers. Do you have a CRT video show or an liquid crystal show? liquid crystal show video show gadgets do no longer flicker. something else is inflicting your problems. Set the refresh fee to 60 Hz for the clearest image. CRT video show gadgets must be set to a refresh fee of a minimum of seventy 5 Hz. different than that: The show screen brightness must be set to a cushty point. there is no no longer uncomplicated rule for this, you are able to desire to regulate it to a level you're delicate with. LCDs regulate the brightness, CRTs regulate the assessment. the way you take a seat and artwork has an excellent effect. observing something all day provide you sore eyes and a headache. each and every jiffy close your eyes for a 2d. once you stare at something you do no longer blink as often and your eyes dry out. on the comparable thread, determine you're ingesting sufficient. air con can dry out your eyes too. chill out and stretch each and every jiffy. as quickly as an hour or so arise and flow around. go get a drink, go communicate over with somebody for a minute, something that gets you moving those joints that have been static.

Use 60 Hz for an LCD monitor.
