    Question Monitor flickering

    My friend has a flickering monitor and I was wondering what I could do to the refresh rate. Right now, he has a tnt 2 pro on a P4 2 GHz (yeah I know, I told him about that) with a 17 in monitor. I read somewhere that if the refresh rate is too low or too high the flickering becomes rolling bars or something. It says 46.8/75hz on the monitor status screen, is that too low?

    The current rig that 0wnz:
    Antec 2650|A64 3200+|ECS 755-A2|1gb Kingston Value RAM|17" Samsung 730b|Gigabyte 6600GT|8x DVD-RW|160 GB Seagate HD|250 GB external

    The rig that 0wned:
    HP Pavilion 9800|1.3ghz P4|384 RDRAM|Radeon 9000pro 128 MB|15" monitor (12" viewable )|30 gig HD|Windows ME (Cheaper than Windows 98!)|12 DVD-ROM|52/24/52 CD-RW|Nice buttons

    Depends at what resolutions it is running. What is the refresh rate in display properties?

    Yes it is. Go with 85hz, that's the standard, and it's da best IMO.

    Where can I find the refresh rate under display properties?
    BTW, it's running at 800x600. He has trouble with his hand and he doesn't want to move the mouse a whole lot.
