Quick Tip - Eye Saver

If you are still using a CRT, that is a monitor that is not based on LCDs then you can probably improve your experience by upping your refresh rate.


To do this, first right click the desktop. Select properties. Click on the settings tab. Next click the advanced button. Now select the monitor tab. Check the box to "hide modes that this monitor cannot display". Now from the pull down menu select the highest number listed. This is the refresh rate, the number of times a second that the screen is redrawn. Higher is better because it has less flicker and causes less eye strain. Click apply. At this point you might be prompted to keep the new settings, select yes. Don't be suprised if your screen looks an odd shape now. If you need to make monitor adjustments at this time, do it. If you are uncomfortable making those types of adjustments then change the refresh rate back to what it was before.
