Matthew, this is the case of fatfingers and late hour. It is my understanding that there is *no* US regulation prohibiting the use of 60Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, it is *not* a good refresh rate for areas with fluorescent lighting. running the thinknics at 800x600 takes care of th

Is this an FCC thing? Do you have any links to U.S. regulations for this? Still, I imagine that the 60Hz refresh rate would not have any ill health effects on an LCD display...right? And it's not going to flicker for me regardless of lighting, right? I'll have one area that has two windows and

Rocky, right you are. i don't think it is ilegal in us to run display at 60Hz, but it sure is a bad idea in offices without natural light. the frequency coincides with the current and the flashing in the peripheral vision is unbelievable, especially if you wear thick glasses. what

You're correct - it's a waste if you're just going to run 16 bit, 1024x768. Thanks for the compliment. The formating's poor going from SO 6.0 Beta to HTML, that'll be cleared up in future versions. Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > 4. The more video memory, the higher resolution and mor
