How expensive are really high-end monitors? When I say that, I mean...
The Radeon 9600 supports a resolution of 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz - however, of course, our 19" monitor only refreshes at 75 Hz. Not because the video card doesn't support better (it does) but because the monitor itself doesn't.
The Radeon 9800 Pro supports 1600x1200 @ 120 Hz - but again, our monitor would run at 75 Hz.
My question is, what kind of monitors, and how much do they cost, that actually would display 1600x1200 @ 120 Hz with the Radeon 9800?
I find that 1600x1200 is out of focus (kinda shaky) @ 75 Hz, and would prefer a refresh rate over 100 Hz. (out of curosity - I won't buy a new monitor!)
Most people apparently can't see the difference in refresh rates over 80 Hz, but I definitely can - up to 120 Hz, at that. Any refresh rate under 80-85 Hz is just annoying to me, especialy since my vision is slightly impaired.
