Usually when people are recommending high frequencies, it is to reduce
flicker on a CRT (tube) monitor. With an LCD, the frequency doesn't
matter much, as LCDs don't flicker, and you may even be limited to just
60 hz.

The computer can be a huge contributor. Earlier this year I bought and
returned a new computer, because the computer caused me such bad symptoms.
In this case, I was using the same keyboard, mouse, and monitor as before --
the only thing which had changed was the computer.
