My friend recently gave me a 20" Trinitron monitor that had been used in his photo department as a computer monitor. He didn't know a lot about it as he had been using the AV ins to play his Playstation 2. I spent 47 dollars on a BNC cable so I could use it as my computer monitor. It is max 800x600 at 60Hz. It is crisp and clear. I can accept the 800x600 but the 60Hz is murder on my eyes. Whites are the worst. They put way too much strain on my eyes. Is there anything I can do about it? Any settings I can adjust? VGA was 60Hz max right? How could people stand it? I hate to waste a perfectly good monitor. Does it use more system resources to stay in 60Hz? Any help is much appreciated!
