Hmm...the 21" monitor I'm using at the moment runs at 100dpi but claims
(via its on-screen display) that I'm using a 68.8kHz horizontal sync
rate and 62Hz vertical refresh rate. You say you have a 19" monitor and
find 85Hz uncomfortable? If 62Hz is not uncomfortable for me, does that
mean my brain is slow?
