    Question cornerstone 21" rates

    For those of you who bought one of these monitors what resolution and refresh rate do you use? 1280 x 1024 works just right for me and I have always used 85hz as the fresh rate. I changed that value this evening to a staggering 180hz, wow is this high too high? All my old crappy monitors could only manage ~80hz.
    meh

    i have the p1500, 90hz seems to be the best for 1280*1024, while 85hz for 1600*1200. Im annoyed though, been using it so long at this refresh that Ive started to notice flickering and headaches again... you get used to the refresh after a while, need to put it higher but the monitor wont go any higher

    I got the 'official drivers' there is a check box in the monitor options which prevents it from running out of spec. So I wacked it upto 90hz the highest it would go for this res

    with my old monitor, 1024*768 didnt flicker at 75hz... now im used to this p1500 @ 85/90hz, EVERY monitor I see at below 85hz I notice the flickering instantly and same with 85hz but it takes much longer to notice...

    1600x1200 @ 85Hz, this was a great purchase (I drove round to save the delivery cost too heh).

    Same as KeZZeR on a P1500 here. 1280x1024 is a nono for me, I like my circles round and my squares square.
