Envision 17" fish bowl......1024x768 @ 85hz......but every once in a while is switch it to 1280x960 for a change of pace and it still looks pretty good. All this on a LeadTek GF3 Ti200 64mb.

1024x768 at 85hz on a Gateway EV700 17in monitor and a MSI GF4 4400-VTD. I'm shopping for a nicer monitor though. Meh.

At home, 1600x1200x32@100 Hz on an Eizo F931.
And another box with a Maxdata(read, POS) 19", running at 1280x960x32@85 Hz.

At work
2 Compaq S910's, both at 1280x960x32@85 Hz.

Oh and if I were you I'd shoot for 85 Hz, even if you have to lower your resolution, 60 Hz can cause eyestrain as well as migrane, not good for you.

Old Sun Trinitron 17" 1280x1024@70Hz

I think 70 might be outta spec(i got it refurbed for like 250 2 years ago at a bidding site)but it runs fine....60 gives me headaches and i can like see the refresh lines similiar to what u see when a monitor is recorded to tape, just not as bad.

Editn a leadtek GF4 Ti4200 64 mb, was on a TNT2 Leadtek before....always will use leadtek for 2d quality on high performance video cards

Okay guys, just to bore you with a running totals and the average horizontal resolution:

800x1
1024x12
1152x8
1280x17
1400x1
1600x13
1920x1
2048x1

TOTAL= 70232 x54 ... An average of 1301 horizontal or rounded to the nearest 1280!

Quote by jamie2833:
there is no difference between 60hz and 70hz that i can tell on a TFT monitor but as it keeps reverting back to 60hz after playing a game it dont bother me so i just stick with 60hz.

Technically, LCD's don't have refresh rates. They just need to accept multiple refresh rate inputs for compatibility.

I have a 17" Nokia Multigraph 447XPro. I run the desktop at 800x600 @ 120Hz. (Monitor supports 144, but the 30.82 WinXP Detonators won't allow that setting; higher versions do though. The Win98SE 30.82 drivers did allow 144Hz.
I do Counterstrike, Half Life, and Giants at 1024x768@100Hz with Quincunx FSAA and varying levels of anisotrophic filtering.
Homeworld and X-Wing Alliance, and any other game that doesn't do well with FSAA (makes the text unreadable), I use 1280x1024@85Hz. It supports 90Hz, but again, the 30.82 Det's won't allow that.
Everything is set to 32 bit color. I don't like the banding that 16-bit color always causes.
