I have a Samtron 19" monitor with an NVidia |video card (GeForce2, I think) ... in X, I'm getting a weird "streaking" |effect I've never seen before ... Sounds similar like what I used to see with my straight 15-pin VGA cables running high resolutions and refresh rates. I'd describe it as "color echos". Terrible for text. Switching to BNC cables cleared it up. Also have read about text clarity issues with NVidia GForce* cards (some net folks that spend alot of time with text dumped them for other cards with clearer text). Haven't seen this first hand so I just mention it as something you might want to investigate...
