    On standard CRT displays, we recommend that you should use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your PC at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your LCD Monitor, flicker is not an issue. It is flick-free at all supported refresh rates.

    The table in “Video Mode” on page 29 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 60 Hz refresh rate for best performance.
