Shimmering text?

[xphantg0d]

I am running an old monitor at 1280x1024. I dont think it was made to do it but somehow it is working. but the text sort of shimmers. if i degauss it helps a little but it just gets worse. It is mainly happening in the middle of the screen. anything i can do to stop the shimmering?

What you are probably seeing is the Refresh rate set at 60 I don't know if you monitor will hold a higher rate but i would say 75 hz is a min. 85 - 100 but i doupt that a old monitor at that high of a res. will hold it worth a try
