Just by having an LCD you are far above any refresh rate on a CRT.

I have a CRT set at the highest allowable refresh rate but still experience eyestrain and headaches after 3 hours or so. Do you believe switching to an LCD would help...?

Possibly XP figures this out, but you could on older OSes and if you are tricky enough you probably can on XP too.

I'm looking stuff up. Wikipedia says old monitors can be damaged by setting a refresh rate too high, but most new monitors won't try and will tell you it's too high. So I guess it's on the monitor, not the computer.

Re: OT: Refresh Rate
 

I have a 2001fp, and when i first checked i could not change the rate above 60hz. However, after seeing this post my curiosity was sparked again and i went and checked a second time, and i am able to switch it to 75hz max -- when the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" IS Checked.

I have no idea why this is. The only thing I did different was change it from the standard VGA cable to the DVI cable, which may be the reason, but i am ignorant of such things.
