Re: Headache, bad for eyes LCD displays

Does the refresh frequency make any difference to LCDs if they are running from analogue signal?

I must admit, I assumed that it didn't because of the refresh rates of the screen - 12ms and so on. I am running my secondary monitor off a DVI port with an adapter so that I can fit the second monitors VGA cable into it and so it is not digital. Will increasing the frequency (when I install the right driver!) make a difference?

Thanks
Steve

I use a dual setup with one 19" CRT at 85 Hz and a 19" LCD using a true
digital connection. If you have the room, keep the old CRT and add the LCD
onto your video card if it has a connector. My old FX 5600 has a VGA for the
CRT and a DVI for the LCD (The LCD runs much better using the 24 pin DVI-D
cable than using a standard VGA connection ... I tried both just to find
out).
