refresh rates question

OK, got the Dell 24" monitor. Looks great at 1920x1200.

The refresh rate is locked in at 60 Hertz. This monitor is supposed to do better
than that i'm sure (still checking). What is the prime control for the vertical and
horizonal refresh rates? My graphics is a GeForce 6600GT (BFG is the maker).

thanks,

Found it!

Horizontal scan range 30 kHz to 81 kHz (automatic)
Vertical scan range 56 Hz to 76 Hz, exception 1680 x 1200 & 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz only

Optimal preset resolution
Analog : 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz(VESA CVT-R Mode)
Digital : 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz(VESA CVT-R Mode)

Highest preset resolution
Analog : 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz(VESA CVT-R Mode)
Digital : 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz(VESA CVT-R Mode)

Guess the vertical/horizonal is "set" at 60 for the 1920x1200.

Looks like they do lack a little in the refresh dept. My Dell 20 is at 1024 x 768 @ 75 and that's the highest refresh number available. I see too much flicker @ 60 because that’s the same freq as the AC current of the lights (florescent).

 

Yes, 1280x1024 gives me 75 hertz horizonal, vertical is "Fixed ".
But Strike Fighters dont look bad at 1920x1200 altho its much
better at 1280x1024 and still uses the full screen.

So, I'm satisfied with it. Specially since i saved 300.00 bucks by
buying it during a sale.

I thought flicker was a product of CRTs, not flat panels. And, I thought you did not even have to concern yourself with refresh rates with flat panels because it doesn't work the same way as it does with CRTs.

Can anyone edify me otherwise?

Well shoot I learned something today.
