Default Re: 6 tabling and 8 tabling monitors?

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe it's just me, but everytime I use someone else's computer who has a CRT, it hurts my eyes if I'm staring at it for more than like half an hour. I know next to nothing about tech stuff, so I don't know if there's a reason for this or if I'm just a nut case. Or both.

the reason is, most CRT monitors cannot do 1600x1200 resolution at a decent refresh rate. most all will only run at 60hz. the way to test this is to open up microsoft word or some blank white screen.. look slightly away from the monitor and watch the screen with your peripheral. you will be able to 'see' the screen flickering. its like when you see computer monitors on TV you see the band running up and down. if you ran a higher refresh rate it would mostly likely not hurt your eyes.
