Getting small is the whole point. Once you get used to a 1024 display 800 (or, gods forbid, 640) seems confining. You get used to having all that extra space, and when you can barely see a page width in Word it starts to become annoying.

On refresh rate. I run at 60 and have no problems whatsoever. I can see flicker on machines at work at that refresh, but thats because theres a weird EM field at work. (Im not kidding, all the monitors have interference patters in sync). This may be because lights in UK are at 50Hz (different power supply) and so dont interfere as much. I dunno.
