    sounds like the refresh rate might be set to low

    I would suggest 85Hz+ is a good refresh rate, however you must check what your monitor supports (manual or online) because setting the refresh rate to high can fry the monitor

    Hope this helps

    I think you may be looking at the wrong value, as it should be in Hz not KHz.

    If you post the exact model number of the monitor I will look it up for you on the manufacturers website.

    Regards

    Are there any strong magnetic fields nearby? Electric motors, flourescent lights, speakers, power lines, etc. can cause the 'shaking' effect you describe.

    If you need a utility to force the refresh rate, try "Hztool".
