my refresh rate is 75Hz on mine and no game I currently have has a refresh rate of more than 75Hz. Halo is absolutely spot on with everything maxed out and FEAR is played with everything on high and AA and soft shadows turned off completely. Works a treat and I play in 1440x900 as with all my games. That's why everything is so detailed and sharp

I know from past experience LCDs tend to be really crap in sharpness as I know with some Dell one's my 6th form has. My 5 year old CRT was better than those but the LCD I have now is just amazingly sharp and crystal clear. Really am very happy with it.

LCD dont have a refresh rate thats why theres zero flicker and why do you think you can record a LCD screen with your mobile/camcorder and play back without that horrible flicker?

pani what make is your screen and how much MS? im still using my trusty 17" ben-q at 1280x1024 and 8ms, works fine
