Using the arguments for the displaymode attribute (<a href="http://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/language/attributes/displaymode.htm),">http://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/language/attributes/displaymode.htm),</a> I set the refresh rate to a number used by other researchers (refreshrate = 120), and I get the following error message:<br/><font face="Courier New"><br/>120 is invalid. Value must be an integer from 1 to -1.<br/><br/></font><font face="Courier New"><font face="Arial">Why am I getting this error and why would I want to express a refresh rate between 1 and -1?</font><br/></font><br/>Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:16:01 GMTbabjhttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic18459.aspxDisplaymode is deprecated -- setting resolution and refresh rate has never been properly supported by most graphics cards / their drivers. Moreover, most displays (LCDs, etc.) around these days cannot be set to arbitrary refresh rates; there aren't many LCDs that support running at 120Hz at all, most devices you'll encounter will run at 60Hz and cannot run at any higher rate. If in a lab, make sure your display is able to run at 120Hz and set it to that rate via the standard means provided by the OS (i.e. outside of Inquisit).<br/>Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:16:01 GMTDave
