2005FPW refresh rate.

[LogicSound]

i just recieved my 2005FPW and love it, thought it would be a bit bigger but i guess i gotta get used to it since im comming from a CRT 19" im running 1680x1050@60hz on DVI-D is there any other way to gain higher refresh rate? oh yeah 0 dead pixels and cant tell of any back light bleed. thanks guys.

Some argue that increasing the refresh rate does a lot, I own two 2005fpws and didn't notice any improvement per say, but I'm running it @ 75hz anyway simply because I can.

Anyway in the nvidia display properties go to the "Screen Resolutions & Refresh rates" section.
Near the bottom click "Add" which has the heading "Custom resolutions and refresh rates". A dialogue will come up about possible damaging of hardware (heed this warning and don't put on a ridiculous refresh rate or resolution). Add whatever resolution with whatever refresh rate you wish to add.

Well the improvement shouldn't come from desktop use, look for changes while playing games in which there is the most movement. Then judge for yourself, but as always YMMV.

I had the same question regarding backlight...thanks. I just added as a custom resolution but wasn't able to use it until I unchecked "hide modes monitor can't display". Is that the only way? Doing so also gave me a few rez higher than 1680x1050...I wouldn't want to accidentally select one of those.
