Kinda apples and oranges though. Although at a basic level, fps is fps, with motion pictures you're seeing a "flash of light" of the whole frame which includes motion blur. On a CRT the fps is the rate the scan line updates the screen and there's no motion blur, which is why you need higher FPS to make motion seem smooth and fluid. I can see the scan line updating to about 75 Hz but it doesn't bother me too much. 60Hz makes me motion sick. As far as audio cables, I'm not too picky unless they're REALLY cheap.
