I don't get it, either. 60Hz wasn't so bad on a 14" monitor, but we were selling a lot of 21" monitors, and it was just killing people. Add on to that that Microsoft didn't bother including our monitors in Windows95 when it came out, and that added up to a lot of fun support. Oh, and the Internet wasn't really big yet back then, either, so we couldn't just tell them to download an INF file, we had to send a floppy. Of course, the "engineers" couldn't just create an INF file. They had to write some half-assed application that did some sort of weird shit to do the same thing that Windows95 did via "installing" an INF file. I even reverse engineered an INF file I found somewhere, created one for our monitors, and showed them that it worked better and they didn't care.

I wonder how many people have computer-related eyestrain due to 60Hz refresh rates?
