These eyes...
Heh. Alright, here''s my question to y''all. I''ve currently running my computer at 1920x1440x32 (you bet!) but to do so I needed to bump down my monitor''s refresh rate to 60hz (apparantly, my monitor isn''t even supposed to support such a high res). Anyhow, my buddies tell me I''m nuts cuz it''s equivalent to starring (or staring?) at a light bulb. Basically my eyes''ll be toast!
Is this true? 60Hz will kill my eyes? Oooh, man, but everything''s sooo sweet right now! I can see so much more code on one screen!
~Queasy.
The light from your monitor is still much lower than the wattage from a light bulb, you''re not going to burn out your eyes on the quantity of light. Refresh rates have different effects on different people... I get headaches at anything lower than 72 Hz, but some people do just fine on 60 Hz
