Setting an obscure refresh rate to Windows desktop (like 68Hz)

Can this be done through a program or a registry tweak? I'd like to run 1600x1200 @ 68Hz instead of 60... it'd be a little bit less tough on my eyes. =o

and you can't do 70? :hrm:

just curious, I dunno how to do it though. :shrug:

i've never been able to do it...and I went through editting the registry and driver install files...but alas I may have done something wrong. Maybe you can use a 3rd party util that does it?

check to see what frequency range your monitor supports before you change the refresh rate

anything under 75 hurts my eyes.

does your moniter support 65? 8 more than the reccomended might be too much

Powerstrip worked.

68 is the max on my monitor.
