hi all,

The first thing you need to do is make sure your monitor is reconized in Device Manager.

If it doens't list your monitor, go get the drivers for it and install them.

Then when you right click on an empty spot of the Desktop, and select properties, then advanced, and select monitor, you will see several settings for refresh rate.

these are settings your monitor can tolerate. 60 is one to avoid, its too slow. 72 to 85 should be about right. What its refering to is the scan refresh rate per second. The higher refresh rate is easier on the eyes (I am told)
