Funny, I made the opposite observation: with a V3 2000, attached to a
no name 15" screen, I had used the 'optimal' setting thinking it was -
well - optimal. In another group, somebody suggested the same thing
Zep said, so I gave the 'adapter default' setting a try. It *seems* to
be much better in GPL than the optimal setting. Having no hard data to
back this up, it could be a placebo effect, however.
If you can enter refresh rates manually, that is. I have the options
'optimal', 'adapter default' and '60 Hz' in the pull down menu...
