I run my 19" at 1280X960 @ 100Hz but thats because I need to run my monitor at a refresh rate in excess of 85Hz to reduce the effect of (what I guess is) environmental interference. And thats the maximum res I can do it in.

hey fat_electron, what kind fo a monitor do you ahve? does it really make a difference from 85hz to 100hz?

repeat after me, we are all individuals!
 
Here's the story

My monitor is an LG 915ft plus.
I believe my problem lies in the fact that I live not too far away from powerlines. After noticing the screen image was shaking I created a grid pattern and set my refresh rate to 70Hz; all the vertical lines would move in noticable waves. The higher the refresh, the smaller the waves. So if I keep it at about 100, the effect is barely visible.

At first I thought it was the monitor, but when trying to demonstrate the defect to the retailer, the problem was not there. So I tried moving it to a different room in the house; it make much of a diference.

So in the end, I keep my refresh at or above 100Hz. In order to maintain this refresh with my Vid card, I have to keep the screen at a res at or below 1280 X 960.
