*edit* Explanation of refresh rate:
Refresh rate is kinda like FPS for the desktop. It is how fast the screen redraws the image. 60Hz is 60 times a second. When you look at your screen, the flickering you see is the refresh rate.
Just curious but do you have fluorescent lights? I heard those have a frequency of 60hz making the monitor refresh more noticable.

I run at 1280x960 @ 60hz.
