Use the highest refresh rate you can. At anything below 85, I can see the flicker. Flicker can tire your eyes out really fast and give you a headache.

The refresh rate is not important on a TFT, it just allows compatibility with the video card interface. At least it's not visible in the way it is on a CRT. This is effectively replaced with the response time. Anything at or below 16ms is good for gaming.

Dang, didn't see the part about him having a TFT. For TFT, he should leave it at 60. For TFT, you should also only use native resolution. Anything else will look either fuzzy or weird.

Use whatever you find looks best.
I was hard pressed to tell any difference on mine.
