60Hz screen refresh optimal?
-
so then even normal light bulbs bug you as they flicker at a rate of 50Hz?? AFAIK the human eye cant "register" more than 30 or 40Hz

untrue, untrue... This was once believed to be so, we now know it to be false. The human eye has a tracking range of 30hz to 120hz and maybe beyond. A study of top air-force pilots, the best of the best, shall we say, demonstrated eye-tracking capability on the 120hz range and hand-eye coordination that broke previous estimates as well. The only rule is there are no absolutes. :)

I don't know why they would list that, quoting refresh rate stats for an lcd monitor is like an add for a modern car saying it has "crankless" starting technology. Entirely irrelevant.

I think they list it as optimal so you know which option to select in windows. Fonts etc seem to go blurry depending on the refresh rate you select.
