1152x864 @ 75Hz

Best resolution I can do on this monitor. Can run 1280x960 @ 72Hz.. but those 3Hz actually do make a difference. Max res this monitor can do is 1280x1024 @ 60Hz.. but that makes my eyes water.

Used to be running 1024x768@75Hz with large fonts on my old 15" (was the best it could do, and with the large fonts it was readable) but since I was given a newish 17", now I'm running it in 1280x1024@100Hz, much better!

I'd run it higher but the refresh rate isn't that great at higher resolutions, and it gives me a headache.

What refresh rates you guys use? I use 85Hz, 90Hz makes it screw up a bit
