I think it was refreshing at 72hz.  A bit low, but livable.  It is some
sorta Dell monitor.  My other Dell 17" tops out at 1024x768.  That monitor
sucks.  It also has some color imbalance problem (things are always a bit
too bright and washed out).

Hopefully this fall I'll have the dough to go to a nice SGI or Sun 20" as
my main monitor, and save the nice dell for my HP and javastations.
