Setting the Refresh Rate

The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency.

On standard CRT displays, you want to use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your computer at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal display, flicker is not an issue. It is flicker-free at all supported refresh rates.

The table in “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at different screen resolutions. Although the FX75 supports up to 85 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 75 Hz refresh rates for best performance.
