I agree though, 60hz is a pain in the eyes. You look in one corner and you can see flicker in the other corner. I've heard some people cant see it some people can. Play it safe and set it to 85. 60 gives alot of people headaches and is distracting.


Except that 85 isn't safe if the monitor can't do it and either shows nothing ( as above ) or just plain breaks ( With the Law-Suits and the OH nice judge, don't hurt a person.. )

It's still decidedly unclear to me exactly how to do this properly, as it's also unclear exactly what the hz setting is doing. Is it setting the monitor hertz? Is it setting up BMax internal timing? Is it doing both? From the comments I've seen from BRL and users, it appears to be doing both. If that's the case, I think it's wrong, and should be separated so that you can lock the timing to 30 or 60hz ( for example ) and leave the refresh rate alone.
