Re: [gentoo-user] Maybe OT: Sync freq of LCDpanel != framerate of movie ?!?
Not sure if it will help, but try setting your kernel jiffies to 300hz? - 300 is evenly divisible by both 60 and 50 and I think was introduced for this reason.

I bought a LCD monitor as a replacement for my aging CRT one. It is a HP LP2475w which has a vertical refresh rate (sorry is this is a corrupted terminus technicus... my C is better than my English... ;) ) of 60Hz and runs with 1920x1200 resolution. Since all my hardware is wired to 220V/50Hz and DVDs/videos of region 2 have a framerate of 50Hz I can see distortions in fast moving scenes especially at fast changing light conditions (flashes, disco lightning, fight scenes in Matrix Revolutions etc...) The LCD is driven via DVI conection by a nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a2) and I am using the current nvidida-drivers. I played around with different SYNC-options in the nvidia-settings dialog but did not found one which cures the problem. How can I fix the problem ? Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Apart from that it is a wise choice - 100 is too low for a desktop and 1000 is too much. First off all, turn off 'vsync'. Also try opengl as output instead of xv. And if your display can do 75hz it might be a good thing to try. Oh - and the freqs of the current has nil influence at all.
