    read two other posts about this ( one, two), found many others as well. but not specific to AW.

    my default screen res was 1920x1200, the lcd's natural res. and the refresh rate was 59 Hz. why didn't they just set it at 60 Hz? since that shows up as an option anyway?

    does anyone know why the 59 ?

    my point exactly! :p just wondering why they set it to that...in case there was some underlying technical/performance reason.

    That's actually a good question.
