1024/32-bit on a 20" monitor

I sit about 3 feet back from the screen. Hate web sites with fixed-size fonts!

Many people mentioned the Refresh Rate as well. I didn't mentioned that before, well mine is set to 75Hz. What's the difference between a 60Hz or 75Hz or 85Hz. I can't feel it in my screen. Can anybody please explain? Thanks. :)

~*McoreD*~,

The Refresh Rate is how fast your screen/monitor gets updated with the current picture. The faster the rate, the better. If the rate is really slow, you might see the screen filicker a bit. Remember just because you might have Windows set for a high rate, you can't get anymore than what your monitor will allow and trying to can damage your monitor.

Here's a good info source with pictures:

EDIT - After reading the entire article using the link above it says this at the end of the article:

Since Windows XP came out, much of this article no longer applies. However, Win XP (and Windows 2000) bring their own problems with Refresh Rates.

:blink: Back to square one, but it still more than answers your question about what refresh rate is.

Here's an odd one:
1152x864 @ 85Hz w/ 32 bpp on a 19"

Refresh rate is important in fast 3d games. Ever see a split second where the picture gets a horozontal line in it like it is two similar pictures misaligned? The higher refresh you have, the less likely this "tearing" will occur.
