yeah I get that thanks. What I originally asked was:

What are the advantages of 0 and 1, why would I want to use them? Which is best on most hardware and doesn't cause any tearing or weird artifacts?

Although I assume -1 is the best otherwise it wouldn't be default right? Speaking of defaults, the graphics command has a default of 60Hz too, if this was so bad, why is it the default? I'm just wondering if it's viable to make a 60Hz full-screen arcade game that will run on almost all systems fine.

this thread seems to just be opening up more questions than it closes!
