I voted 1024x768 as that is my home system(s), but I run 1280x1024 on dual LCDs at work.

How can you vouluntarily use a 60Hz refresh rate? That's like.. so painful to look at.. I cry looking at anything under 75Hz. Even 75Hz isn't too pleasing...

True that, its bloody horrible, when I didnt have refresh rate lock on and vice city would change the refresh to 60hz, then sometimes it would crash and cause the desktop to be on 60hz it was bloody horrid, for some reason 60hZ looked fine when playing the game...

i recon hey, unless its an LCD and anything else will make it fuzzy, i know i get up people at work who change stuff.

this is why we locked them out via group policy

Should always run the lcd at what the manufacture recommends :p

Yeah but its a whole different thing with LCD's. They don't have a refresh rate, per say, like CRT's do. 60Hz and 85Hz on an LCD looks exactly the same.
