Hi,
        Yes, though not as important as it used to be.  Setting to 72Hz or higher
tends to be what most people think will cause the least amount of eye
strain and headaches.  I sometimes have to use an old monitor that runs at
60hz and can personally attest to the ergonomic problems of using low
refresh rate.

Would it be correct to say that it is important that the monitor will
support high refresh rates because setting a lower refresh rate will
cause the human eye to become more exhausted from watching the
screen?
In other words, what is the advance of higher refresh rate from the point
of the user?
