Anyone have the MAG 971FS-S Monitor?

[Lordberek]

I saw this monitor at bestbuy MAG 971FS-S. I was wondering what the HZ rate is on the monitor at the resolution of 1280x1024. It reports that it is 66hz at 1600x1200.

I have a MAG 19 inch monitor now, but it only does 75hz at 1280x1024.

Thnx for any info.

It probably won't do much better. 66Hz*1200/1024 = 77Hz (This is not entirely accurate since it doesn't take vblank into account, but its close enough) It is possible that your existing monitor can do better. Have you tried tweaking it with Powerstrip? With Powerstrip you might be able to get 1400x1050@75Hz, or 1280x960@85Hz.

No I haven't tried tweaking it, but good idea.

I would like to get 1280x1024 at 85hz like my other 19 inch monitor does(KDS).

But if that one probably wont do it then I wont get it over what I have now, since there both almost the same monitor.

I found some specs here. According to those the MAG 971FS-S has a max horisontal frequency of 86kHz. That is simply not enough to reach 1280x1024 @ 85Hz; you need a monitor able to go past 90kHz to get that. So, yeah, you should probably not get that one...
