G225f: Seems to be ViewSonic's latest offering. Pushed it to 119.9 Hz. I tried several different
resolutions, starting from max, before it gave me the ~120 Hz refresh.
This monitor was plug and play a new Dual G5 (6/06), the awesome Quadro FX 4500, and
NuVision 60GX Emitter/Glasses Combo. Very choice if you have the means.
