    Hi, SR users, is your display @ 59hz or 60hz?

    When I go into graphics options, it shows 59hz even when i set it to 60hz:

    * Accelerator Information *

    Accelerator in Use: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    Video BIOS: 1629.0
    Current Graphics Mode: 1280 by 800 True Color (59 Hz)

    Any idea why? The drop-down option shows 59 and 60, and I chose 60, but it still sets to 59hz...

    it's not.... i also have a reading of 59hz, and have not experienced the vertical line issue while playing games, watching fast moving objects/video, etc.

    it's not vertical lines, but faint diagonal lines. not very visible.

    anyway, i have "fixed" the 59hz issue. It must be set via the "monitor" tab in the display options (instead of the intel gfx options panel). Mine is now @ 60hz.

    The SR 129E/B seems to only have a refresh rate of 60 hz. I have never had to adjust it or anything.

    Strange that the CTO's seem to have 59 hz though.

    (I can't change it either. xP)
