Default Re: Windows 7?

True, but the windows settings on any LCD monitors I have seen these days only ever gave 60hz (default) and 70Hz.

Now, the good old CRT monitors were a different beast entirely, and you were offered some strange rates, e.g. the larger pixel resolutions available, but at some very low and interlaced mode. (Those sort of "swam" in front of my eyes, and caused eye strain in a very short time). With CRT, it was a case of finding the largest pixel size that supported a rock-steady (75hz?) refresh rate.
