Conflicting Refresh Rate

[griffin_230]

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1720 and just got an engineer to replace the original 59 Hertz screen with a 60 Hertz one, as I read in some forums that some games may rely on a 60 Hertz reading to run properly. Afterwards, I noticed that in the 'Display Settings' and 'dxdiag', the refresh rate is shown as 60 Hertz.

However, Dell's own QuickSet application gives a refresh rate reading of 59 Hertz under System Information. I asked dell about this, but they don't know why QuickSet says 59 Hertz. So can I safely ignore QuickSet's reading and just rely on the 'dxdiag' readings as more accurate ?

It will make no difference what so ever, as long as you use the screens native resolution and refresh rate. I run games at 75hz although that can be changed more easily on a TFT monitor. Don't worry yourself about it.

I did a google search and apparently some games like BF2 rely on a 6o Hertz refresh rate being set before they'll run. I just wanted to make sure I didn't encounter similar problems in the future.
