I'm not sure what a phospher is. All I know is that I recently
adjusted the vertical refresh rate for my monitor, using the software
that came with my video card. The maximum vertical refresh rate for my
(extremely cheap) video card is 72Hz. The maximum vertical refresh
rate for my monitor is much higher--87Hz. So what the monitor is
capable of doesn't really matter if the video card won't let the
monitor do it!
