[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 24534, member: 3889"] The refresh-rate tip certainly is correct. I have to use a Windows machine at work, and they recently updated all the machines (Dells). I noticed them flickering under the fluorescent lights. I went into the monitor control and poked around, then clicked on Advanced and some other button or buttons that I can't recall. I found that the default on all the machines is 60 Megahertz (why???), the same as AC current in North America, so looking the screen all day was like looking at a TV through a slow electric fan, causing eye strain and few headaches in various people. I bumped the refresh rate up to 100, and it helped immensely. [/QUOTE]
