yeah,sorry, didnt notice that in your original post - was you last monitor - the sony - at 100mhz as well. I've heard of ppl who get headaches when the refresh rate is hig - bit strange but there you go. Otherwise mabye its the contrast ?

100Hz should present no problem.
That's about 2-4x what you see on a PAL TV.
You might have to spend time adjusting to the new display.
What is the dot-pitch of the monitor?

Why though are you running a 21" monitor in 1024x768? That must look like ****.
