[quote:6754e]The ONLY time you will see refresh lines is if its under 25 or so fps. Anything above that you will see very clear and it wont strain your eyes.[/quote:6754e]

That's HORSESHIT.

Sometimes I boot my pc and I instantly notice that my monitor has switched
to 60 hertz: I have to go change it in my display properties because the
refresh lines are way too visible and annoying. I can FEEL the difference as
well. Your eyes really start straining when you use a 60 hertz refresh rate:
the recommended minimum being 75, 85 for comfortable viewing. Most of
my friends will notice this right away. I don't understand why you persist in
challenging this...

Your mistake is assuming that because our eyes are limited to processing
30 frames per second, we don't get a chance to see the refresh lines, let
alone feel them. It's like the pointless argument some people make with
graphic cards having too much power. They claim that 60 frames per second
for games is too much because our eyes only see 30 anyway. Well, I have
news for you, buster: compare two copies of the same game, one running
at 30 fps and the other at 60 and I can guarantee you that you will see a
difference between the two. Why do you think it's smoother ? Oh, I forgot,
your eyes can't notice the difference... eek:

If you need a link to the article that explains the aformentioned (and in
doing so, put the final nail in your coffin), let me know: I will be happy to
enlighten you.
