1 Hz is 1 cyle per second. If you monitor is set to 60 Hz which is usually default if windows does not recognize you monitor, then that means the picture on your screen is being redrawn 60 times every second. I believe the recommended setting for a monitor is 72 - 75 Hz (especially for larger monitors). If it's too slow you will see your screen flicker and will be more bothersome to your eyes. Faster is better, but be careful because I believe you can damage your monitor if you set it too high (higher than your monitor can handle). If it's plug-n-play, the operating system should adjust the Hz accordingly to your resolution setting, make & model.

You said you monitor is 1680 X 1050 res. I would think that 75 Hz would be fine.


Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
