Hello, I have been using my asus vw222u monitor for a while now, connected to my dell dimension 4600 pc. I have been running the resolution at 1024x768, and been getting relatively clear pictures, but everything seems a little BIG and pixelly. I just found out that I had to update my video driver to support the native 1680x1050 resolution of the monitor, so i did that and now i have the option to set my monitor to the 1680x1050 resolution. However i get a flicker in the screen, and dell told me that i needed to increase the refresh rate to 75hz, because i had it set at 60hz. I can't increase the refresh rate to 75hz because there is no option that will let me (its capped at 60). Even if i click the box "display all refresh rates which my monitor doesn't display" only 60hz appears. Increasing the refresh rate to 75hz i am sure will solve my problem i just don't know how to do it. By the way my graphics card is an Intel 82865g graphics controller. Thanks for your help

Your graphics card will not support that refresh rate @ 1680x1050. you may need to upgrade your graphics card.

Here is the best price/performance card for your machine. and will support upto 2048x1536 @ 85Hz

Hope this helps.
