The refresh rate of screens is a particular bugbear of mine. The IT dept where I work never seems to check the refresh rate of the monitors they set up. The result is that they run at 60hz and under artificial light, especially fluorescents, this is just plain bad for the eyes. I can immediately tell from glancing at someones monitor whether it has the dreaded 60hz setup and immediately change it to 75hz (thereby earning the undying emnity of my IT colleagues

)

At home I run 1024 x 768 @ 85hz on a Philips 17" monitor powered by a 128meg Geforce 4 Ti4200
