[gentoo-user] Maybe OT: Sync freq of LCDpanel != framerate of movie ?!?

[meino.cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

 may be this is offtopic, may be it is not. Depends
 on whether gentoo-related software can do something 
 for me in this case...

 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!
 Have a nice weekend!
 Best regards
 mcc
