LCD: Do I select 59 or 60 hertz?

[VulcaN]

In my nvidia display options for the screen resolution, I can set my Dell 2407 WFP and ViewSonic VX2235wm to either 59 or 60 hertz.

When I had my CRT I would always get it as high as it could go. But in this instance, does it matter? Any benefit to either one?

Thank you

Considering the LCD natural refresh reate is 60, I'd select 60.

Run at the native refresh of the display panel, even if other refresh rates are available.
If the display panel itself cannot display at any other frequency than 60Hz, using other refresh rates may cause stutter.

60Hz

Refresh rate is different between CRTs and LCDs. For CRTs it's how fast the screen can be redrawn per second. For LCDs it is the rate at which the video card sends signals to the LCD monitor.

Response time for LCDs is the equivalent of refresh rate for CRTs.

There should be an exact frequency specified in the manual to get the best signal lock. (Though this might be more of an issue with TVs...)
