Is tri-sync == multisync?  Which ones in particular did he buy from there?

Nope, CGA only. For restorations.

Ah, I'd never heard of that.  Interesting.  Though wouldn't persistance also result in lag?  Basicly slower time for the pixel to lose it's charge?
GaryMcT:
The flicker that you perceive is the time that the monitor goes black between frames.  If the phosphors persist more, it's still lit by the time the next frame comes around.  You basically want it to persist long enough that the flicker goes away, but not much longer or you start seeing afterimage.
torez:
85 Hz refresh rate kills the monitor much faster.  I found (back in the day:)) that 75 Hz is ideal for a CRT.  No flicker at all.  Human eye can see at around 65 Hz.
Beretta:
never heard of 85khz killing any monitor that could handle it.

as for the flicker i can still notice it at 75, although at 85 i can't

not that it's bad at 75 but i have to agree 85 is better.

on the other hand 60 is'nt bad when watching video or playing a game.
