Default Re: 1600x1200 LCD monitors (other than Dell and Samsung) and eye strai

I was under the impression that LCDs dont need to refresh. For a CRT, the refresh is the ion gun inside firing away, and it has to refresh the whole screen left to right, top to bottom. A LCD is a different matter, since each pixel is "always on." The only thing that response rate would affect is how quickly a new picture is displayed. AFAIK, the only thing that would cause eyestrain is trying to focus on characters that are too small, and having a display with an insufficient output of light (like cheaper models would have).
