Re: [CGUYS] Making Video Settings Stick
Historically, the refresh rate supported is determined by the monitor. When LCDs first came out, they were limited to operating at 60 Hz. LCDs don't do the same kind of refresh that CRTs do, so it is less of an issue (in theory). I have seen LCDs that support higher refresh rates, but I am not sure what the difference is (to human eyes).

Re: [CGUYS] Making Video Settings Stick
i am running my lcd at 60 hz, and do not have a problem with florescent lights shining on it. That is because the LCD has greater image persistence than CRTs. With CRTs engineers had to work to keep the image on screen longer. With LCDs engineers had to work to get the image on screen to not hang around too long. As with disk drives, technology changes and the way we use it must change accordingly. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Making Video Settings Stick
i have an ati radon 1200 with 256 meg of ram. run vista. both latest upgrades. have a V7 22 wide screen monitor. cheap Acer with quad core. installed ATI CCC(catalyst control center). i set the display to 1440 x 900. all is fine. when i shut down the computer and reboot, the display goes back to 1280 x 960, or whatever is standard. if i rite click screen, 1280 x 960 is highest def. that shows. i have to go to the CCC to reset the 1440 x 900. i cannot find a driver for the V7. just shows as a generic non-pnp monitor. the switch back and forth wipes out the locations of the desktop icons, and crams them all back on the right side. what do i do to make the 1440 x 900 stay put? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Making Video Settings Stick
Are you sure your 22 LCD monitor isn't native 1680X1050? Unlike CRTs, you want to set an LCD to it's exact resolution. Maybe the res you're trying to enter is so far off it's getting rejected?
