It becomes usable at 75Hz, it becomes comfortable at >= 80Hz. If you move your head or the monitor is in the corner of the eye, 75Hz still could noticeable flicker. Even if it's not noticeable, it could cause issues. Under 75Hz it's usable in case of emergency, but it's needed to avoid e.g. white backgrounds. My monitor at the moment refreshes at 89.9Hz. Thats very pleasant. However, if I pluck a string of a guitar in front of the monitor, the stroboscope effect still is noticeable. 89.9Hz aren't noticeable as a frequency below 75Hz is, but if you compare watching a piece of paper and the monitor, you'll notice that something is going on. Even if you watch the paper with light from its backside. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
