Refresh rate on TFT

[Vir]

Hi,

I've just switched to TFT Samsung 226BW from a 21" Dell P1130 CRT monitor. Great screen but how can I set it to 75Hz in 1680x1050? I've seen on the specifications it can do 75Hz and I wanna see how much it makes difference. Only thing I can set it to is 59 and 60 with downloaded drivers..

TFT's don't refresh in the same way as CRT's, and are designed to run at 60Hz anyway as the optimum and recommended refresh rate. You might be able to force 75Hz by using a prog like Powerstrip or something, or maybe try VGA instead of DVI. Tbh though, it won't offer you much unless you're gaming with vsync, and could adversely affect the overdrive impulse being used by the screen., meaning pixel responsiveness is reduced.
