right thats what i was saying the image is streched, and on some monitors its noticable, when i was buying my hardware with my friend, whos really into displays got into this big discussion about how i shouldn't get a 19'', but i don't think that applies to every moniter. OK that said, as far as refresh rate goes, it doesn't apply to LCD monitors to much, because a phosphor on a CRT will begin to dim as soon as the electron beam passes it, but LCD cells open to pass a continuous stream of light, and do not dim until instructed to produce a darker color.
