For me I know it would not be. When using a CRT monitor, I must have a minimum of 70Hz at the chosen resolution. Anything less feels like I'm staring directly into a strobe light, and I develop a headache in a matter of minutes.
66hz will hurt your eyes. would certainly hurt mine. On my old Samsung 700IFT CRT monitor, i had 85hz @ 1600x1200. 75~ was still fine, but anything below it was.. bad.

Hurt your eyes... care to explain how it hurts your eyes? Even at 60Hz I was alright.

Well here is an article about refresh rate and flicker.

I always have problems if the refresh rate is set that low on a CRT, it can be especially bad working in an office since the flourescent lights also flicker at 60 hz here in the US.

I have a 19" CRT. I rarely go above 1152*864 because that requires refresh rates of under 100 Hz.
75-85 Hz is annoying, but tolerable. 60 Hz is awful. It isn't as bad with games, though. It's when you have a lot of white space, like in documents and websites, where the refresh rate makes the biggest difference.
[QUOTE="Thinker_145"][QUOTE="LouieV13"]May I ask why you are buying a crt? but idk much about CRTs so I can help there.Bebi_vegeta
Because of the native resolution crap on LCD"s.
Crap? As in my native 1920x1200 is crap?
No.The crap i am talking about is when you run it at a lower resolution than your native one.I upgrade my PC after a very long time thus have to play in lower resolutions quite often.

When I actually come across a game that I can't run at my native resolution even on the lowest acceptable settings (in my own judgement), I will simply choose "do not scale" in the video driver's control panel. I'd rather have black borders all around than let my LCD do a bad job of stretching the image. And it probably wouldn't last long, because having to choose a lower resolution would pretty much be the catalyst for me to upgrade.
