Just got the CRT and moved into the corner of the room.

I'm assuming the reason why I needed to use 3rd party software was that this monitor had no default settings which involved a high refresh rate, all the 3rd party software did is write to the driver that a given resolution/refresh rate was "safe", which made the option come up in windows, nvidia control panel, etc. I've managed to go up to 160hz @720x480, after using a TFT panel with 20ms input lag, it's wonderful.

Would setting a refresh rate/resolution combination which requires too much bandwidth physically damage the monitor, or simply not work?

Edit: Used CRU to add two standard resolutions, then used refreshlock to set to those refresh rates, I noticed no difference, and when I used refreshlock to set the refresh rate to 50hz I still could not notice a difference, pointing towards the monitor simply not changing refresh rates at all.

Edit 2: Used CRU to make a "Detailed resolution", I'm reasonably certain that it works, running in 720x480 @ 140hz, thanks atmo.

I'm on a GTX 560 ti, probably should have said that in the OP.

Also, if I use the Nvidia Control Panel, the same default refresh rates and resolutions come up.

I downloaded and installed the drivers from Gateway, but when I followed the instructions on how to get Windows to recognize them, windows returned that the current drivers (Plug 'n' play) were the most current, and didn't use them. If there's a way to circumvent windows and just use the drivers, that would probably work.

Recently, I bought a Gateway VX1120 CRT monitor, with the intention of running it at a low res with a high refresh rate. The monitor has a max default setting of 2048x1536 @ 80hz, so I would assume that it should be able to do well over 120hz at 640x480, but the max refresh rate that I can set in windows is 85hz, which it can do at 1600x1200. Currently, I'm using this as a second monitor with a 1650x1080 LCD, though I don't think that should be a problem at all, given how it can already run at a different resolution then the LCD (60hz).

I've tried installing RefreshLock, but that doesn't display other other refresh rates either.

Can someone who uses/used a CRT explain this to me?

There's also the fact that it's against steam TOS to sell/buy steam accounts, hence why it's probably a scam.

Is your custom folder set to read only? It sounds like something is blocking lawena from changing configs.

It's per 2 weeks.

Also, 106.8, though running in windowed borderless makes you alt-tab and forget it's open a lot, right now I'm at the main menu

Can confirm craigslist, picking up a Mitsubishi Diamondtron for $20 tomorrow.

Stuff that gets nuked is usually where seeing the post is enough to be bad, whether it be embedded NSFW stuff, spoilers (see http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/11742-i49-grand-final-vod), to something similar

Was this really worth bumping a year old thread?

Actually that was just him surfing the other soldier's rocket into him, not bhopping.

I'd love to get it started again, I really liked playing NMP. Being able to see a map evolve around suggestions from games you play in is always cool.
