Default What refresh rate should I use?

I've got a Samsung le32r51bd lcd screen which I use for Mediaportal. Bearing in mind i'm in the UK so i'm using mostly PAL encoded files at 25fps, what refresh rate should I set my graphic card at (Nvidia 6600)? The screen accepts anything from 60 to 75hz. Any suggestions?

Default

75Hz as it's multiple of 25Hz

If you connect your TV via DVI->HDMI you can achieve 50Hz which will give you the most smooth picture.

Problem is that Samsung does not offer 1:1 pixel mapping via HDMI only via VGA. The VGA port only allows 60Hz.


(I've got a LE40R51 connected to my 6600LE via HDMI)
