I ran my monitor fine at 60hz with no visible screen redraw problems. That was until I moved house, and then it redrew like shit Weird huh? Now I've got it at 85Hz which is fine, which my monitor manual says can't happen. But I have the tick in the box next to "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" and 85hz is visible as the highest value. I'm running the latest NVidia drivers for a standard GeForce2 card. Anyone see any problems that might happen if I keep it at this rate? If Windows/display drivers says it's OK then it must be... maybe?

60 hz kills my eyes. I have 20/10 vision, so I think I may be more sensitive to that sort of thing, I feel like I can see the lines being drawn if It is any lower than 75 hz..

The display 'driver' is a simple file that just defines what it thinks the monitor should be able to do. It's a simple definitions file. If the monitor does it though, it'll do it. If not, you'll get very weird display results that are totally unreadable.

The longer that you are in front of the monitor, the more important it is to have a higher refresh rate on a CRT monitor. I'm using 2 x19" monitors, and usually end up working with 1280 x 1024 @85Hz as well. 1024 x768 gives a higher refresh rate, but you lose screen real estate. Just the opposite with 1600 x 1200, plus many vstis are not resizeable and next to impossible to read the settings.

No way should you run at 60hz (assuming its not a LCD monitor). This is REALLY bad for your eyes. Run the highest frequency that your monitor supports.
