I am using an IBM G54 CRT monitor that I got as part of a big bundle of stuff. I thought CRTs generally went up to 75Hz for a standard monitor. However, I've set the desktop to 1024*768 @85Hz. I've been playing Quake 3 at 640*480 and it seems to be outputting at 120Hz! Is this correct? How high do CRT refresh rates go? Is this comparable to a 120Hz LCD / LED monitor?
The monitor's GUI provides this information about the current mode:
What is the PP and NN mean? There isn't an option to scroll "up" to see a heading". I assume the 68.7Khz is the horizontal rate or something?
Finally, what is Degaussing for?
It's been about 18 years since I last used a CRT...
