   I looked in the Device Manager and it says no drivers were loaded for the   
   monitor.   
   I'm not getting any flicker that I can see. The refresh rate is set for   
   Optimal but it   
   doesn't say what it is. It has two other options, 60 and 75 Hz. I guess I   
   should be okay   
   then. The monitort I have now is aperture grille and the new one will be   
   shadow mask,   
   (can't find aperture grilles anymore). I don't know it that will matter.   
   Thanks for the   
   information. :-)
