monitor Options

[UNDEAD 1]

ok,well i dont think it was all the mouse .while in game im getting motion sick, cant focus during/afterwards and just having some problems playing in general. i did refresh to 75 hertz but i dont fully understand why or if i CAN on this monitor but it didnt work anyway.

this flat screen is about 5 years old so i could use another and ive seen some good deals out there.can any one tell me what to look for when shopping for a good one ? im gonna go barf now ,hopefully i can work this out.

Try reducing your refresh rate to 60Hz. Especially on flat panels, some gamers will feel a queasy motion-sickess feeling if they set their refresh rate higher.

Dunno why this would be happening just now, if you've had this monitor for 5 years and have always set the refresh at 75Hz. Maybe you've grown slowly sensitive to it over time?

Also, if you are capping fps, via the maxfps setting, there are recommendations for that (google for them, I've read them all over the place). 60 fps is a good one, or for coduo I think the highest recommended totally smooth one is 125 fps.
