I went to syf0n's house a while ago (I was on a trip to New Orleans) and he had his set to 60! I think I suffered permanent eye damage from that one.

Well? Answer.

(Dear god, how can ANYONE run at 60Hz?!?!?)

Note that with lower refresh rates, as well as flickering, the picture appears sharper too - there's a little "fuzziness" associated with the reactance of the RAMDAC to electron gun circuit. With higher refresh rate the electron beam scans the screen faster and the "fuzzy" patches at the edge of the pixels are greater in relation to the pixel size.

Say, I got a Mac 21" monitor a while ago which can only run at 1152x870@75Hz. I got a LeadTek L2300 which claims to be able to do that, but only lets me use 1152x864. Any suggestions?

I'm currently waiting to hear back from their tech support.

91.3 kHz = Horizontal refresh rate (ie drawing individual horizontal display lines at 91,300 lines per second)

85 Hz = Vertical refresh rate (most often what is referred to as "refresh rate", ie complete screen is redrawn 85 times per second).

For a screen running at 1280x1024,

85 Hz vertical refresh means the horizontal refresh should be about 91 kHz, and vice versa.

syf0n's is a piece of shit, and doesn't know when to shut his fucking cock holster.

But I totally symphathize with cr0 on this one, if I was in his position and syf0n posted that "Jason Tsunami" thing and kept taking every opportunity to personally attack me, I'd have banned him too.

That's fine if he's cool in real life. On here he is a piece of shit.

A lot of people on here think I'm an asshole too. In real life I'm a totally different person.

I don't, however, feel I've crossed that line the way syf0n has. And for what it's worth, I do happen to have a little inside info on the syf0n vs. cr0 thing. I'm sure not near as much as you. Hell, you may have been one of the people cr0 reffered to as "his friends"... But let's just say that when I was ready to hop in my car, go to N.O. and personally beat the ever loving shit out of syf0n, cr0 gave me some friendly words of wisdom that calmed me down a bit.

Hah, try telling him "no more god mode" when you're both playing on BG CS up late one night when none of the regulars are around. And he's not feeling "normal" if you know what I mean.
