Refresh Rate

Hello there...
Would you please advice to what refresh rate I supposed to set up my adapter? Should I choose
"adapter default" or "Optimum" or 85Hz - which is the max.
Would appreciate advise

What monitor do you have ?  LCD or CRT ?  CRT's refresh rate can have a number of setting, depending on the monitor and video card, but at least 75 or higher will give you less eye strain.  If the CRT can support a higher refresh rate and the video card can deliver that refresh rate, than use it.   An LCD has a native resolution and also does not have to be refreshed.  It's always on, unlike a CRT's screen, that has to be redrawn ( interlaced ), so a rate of 60 hz would be best for the LCD monitor.  Hope this helps a little

This link will take you to your monitor spec's site, and it shows that the optimal settings is 75 Hz and the highest preset setting is for 85 Hz at 1024x768.  You can try both settings to see if you do not notice screen flickering that will tire the eyes.  But, if you use the highest setting of 1280x1024, you will have to use 60Hz, according to the spec sheet on your monitor, and that will give you eye strain, so try not to use that setting.  Stay with the 1024x768 at 75 Hz, and make a judgment of how everything looks to you.  If you still have eye strain or see flickering on the screen, than change it to 85 Hz.  Good luck

I tried to do a Google.com search for a driver and really could not really find one.  You would think panasonic would include a driver with the monitor.  You can either call panasonic or just let Windows XP assignee a driver for it, which is what I did with my monitor, seeing that it did not make a difference for me.
