My 3 monitors are all at 75Hz. It actually makes a nice difference. Surprisingly, most LCD's that I've encountered do support it.

Benq has 120Hz support on some of their monitors.

The years of playing games with 5 fps make me insensitive to higher refresh rates. I have also heard of people not being able to run fullscreen properly with different refresh rates, although this is probably user error. Most importantly, my post was mostly joke.

I dunno if this goes here, but with my new computer sometimes when I middle click to open something, it sometimes opens 2 tabs instead of one.
Scrolling by middle clicking and moving the mouse also forgets up.
