Apply
>

Vertical Refresh Rate
The vertical refresh rate
of your CRT is impor-
tant. If it is too low and/
or you’re using fluores-
cent lighting, the screen
will appear to flicker. To
reduce flickering on a
CRT, use faster refresh
rates (we recommend a
refresh rate of 72Hz or
more). But first check
your monitor’s docu-
mentation to make sure
it can support the rates
listed by the video driv-
er. The default refresh
rate for VGA monitors
(without drivers) is
60Hz.
