Any hertz over 75 is pretty much unneeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa March 18, 2003 Author Share Playaa Member March 18, 2003 well as a programmer I sit in front of a monitor for a LOOOONG time (i.e. 12 hours a day). I've been told that the higher your refresh rate the less strain on your eyes.....so therefore me currently running this monitor at 120hz is better on my eyes than the other monitor behind me running at 60hz. And believe me after this long looking at different monitors I can tell the difference in refresh rates by the pain that starts in the middle of my head.....the 60hz monitor puts it there instantly....this one doesn't at all (at least not after 4 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anything at 75hz or over doens't bother me and I stare at a computer 18 hours a day if not more. But some people do need better... such as yourself. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
