Is this a CRT (tube) monitor? For myself, I like to keep the refresh
as low as possible, as long as the image doesn't flicker (which is
annoying). For a CRT, I would usually put it at 72-75 hz, and for
an LCD, you can even go as low as 60 hz.

I know that some people suggest to make the frequency higher, but
higher frequencies always made my symptoms worse.
