My 21" CRTs were manufactured in 2001 and still kicking.  I think 85hz is fine. :D

torez, on a completely different note, I notice that you are the Omega Race champ.  I just got a machine (in excellent shape!), so I might have to bug you for pointers at some point since I suck even worse than I did when I was a kid. :)
Malenko:
whats the biggest factor for you? authenticity? cost? ease of install?  a 19"VGA monitor would prolly be the easiest and least expensive

Misconception, it's closer to 200Hz or better assuming 20/20 or better vision and a healthy alert individual. There is an old study on precisely that subject dating back to sometime around WWII.

As near as I can tell, that field of science has gone virtually untouched since the 40's or thereabouts.

On a CRT (or even an LCD), there are other factors to consider of course, persistence, film (or game) image quality, transition, etc. But the gist remains the same, human eye has a much higher perception, recognition and (with the brain) retention than anyone wishes to give it credit for.

I've noticed that with framerate, it REALLY pulls interesting tricks on the human mind.

Uhh most films are 24fps and look totally awesome and 'real'.  I recall putting Blackhawk Down through a 60fps interpolator program in PowerDVD or WinDVD, I forget which.  Suddenly BAM, that 'real looking movie' the movement all felt super smooth in a cheap way, like that feeling you get watching handicam footage on Cops or something.  My friend even remarked "Wow it's like it turned it into Cops: Mogadishu' somehow!"

That's similar to why camcorders often have that 'camcorder feel' to the movement on screen.  Cause you're looking at true interlaced 60hz while film, evne for TV is telecined 24fps.
