Best resolution/refresh rate

_Ad_ · 2 Oct 2006 at 23:47

As above.
Its on an old skool,lol, 17" CRT monitor, and Geforce 128Mb gfx card.

Any recommendations for the best resolution and refresh rate to set it to, to minimise headaches/eye strain etc.
It goes up to a max res of 1280x1024

Thanks

Ok, cheers for the replies.
It can do 85Hz refresh rate, @ 1024x768.
I tried 1280x1024, and it makes things mega tiny, with a 60hz max refresh rate, lol.

1152x864 looks ok tho, at 75hz.

Good test that with camera phone, as it shows exactly what the refresh rate is doing.

Also, whats the best colour setting to use?
I have 6500k, and 9300k, i've read 6500k is correct, but i dont really like how it makes whites look yellowish.

Im leaving it at 1152x864 @75Hz.
Looks a good setting between not being too big, or too small.

Not sure about the colours tho.
