Just treated myself to a 19" monitor (what a change from the old 15"!) and finding some of the technicalities a bit over my head.
ViewSonic G90fb-2. Got the resolution set at 1024x768. The instructions say that at this setting the refresh rate should be 85 Hz. The Viewmeter in the OnScreen main menu tells me that my actual FV = 60.2 and FH = 48.5, and I think I can detect a flicker in white screens such as I would use for text. The instructions say: To set the refresh rate see your graphic card's user guide for instructions. My card is an AGP SiS6326 which was part of a setup I bought five years ago. The booklet I have seems to be written for Win95 users and has a picture of a screen called "Display Modes" which includes a box for adjusting the refresh rate. On my Win98se when I go to Display properties >Settings there is a box for adjusting Screen area but nothing for Refresh rate. So can I adjust the refresh rate, or is it self-adjusting once I set the resolution? Is it possible that 60.2 is the best that can be flogged out of the equipment I've got? I don't know how to interpret these specifications, but my receipt for the package I bought in 2000 tells me: "System No 4, Intel P3-133" and "CPU, P3 733-133". I wish I knew as much about these things as some of you others on the list do, and I'll sure appreciate your advice. TIA John ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
