Actually, it’s best to set the LCD at lower refresh rates from what I’ve heard. For all my LCDs, I have them set at 60 Hz.

The CRT only supported 75, and up close it wasn’t so bad, but if you took 3 steps back, you’d notice significant flicker. This totally sucked, and led to the CRT “slipping in the tub” and being replaced by an LCD. The LCD is set to refresh at 70 mHz, but it doesn’t flicker.

Wow, you left your original refresh settings for the CRT at 70 mhz? Doesn’t that flicker like crazy and hurt your eyes? Usually on a CRT, anything less than 85 will cause the screen to flicker and flash. With LCDs though, you will hardly notice
