Setting of Refresh Rate

[Pele]

I have read that refresh rates below 60Hz are bad for your eyes. So my question is should I set my monitor refresh rate to something above 60 or choose optimal?

If your monitor supports a higher refresh rate at the resolution you're running, for sure! What is the brand, size, and model of your monitor?

Higher refresh rates are better - it'll be much easier on your eyes.

it depends on what your monitor can support. try setting the refresh@ 85hz at the resolution and color depth you want. if it works that's great. if not the lowest i would try is 75hz then i would adjust my resolution. any refresh under 75hz you're going to see flicker and even some monitors at 75hz you can see it.

If you want more control over refresh rates and such, there's a program called PowerStrip that's very good.

Actually, its lower than 85Hz is bad.
