Aaron,
OK. I've never noticed this on my notebooks, but I sure see it on the big
monitor.

When I press the menu botton it tells me the horizontal frequency is 48.3
KHz and the vertical refresh is 60 Hz, at 1024x768 (this while I'm at a
console).
In the monitor section of /etc/X11/XF86Config, the HorizSync is set for
31.5-50 KHz and the VertRefresh is set to 40-90. So that should cover it.

There wasn't a rebate on this puppy, just an in-store sale price.
Thanks,
