An LCD monitor intended for computer use generally has a clock rate
adjustment
that allows you to adjust it so the sampling coincides with the pixel
clock of
the video graphics card.  Then there is a phase adjustment to be sure the
point of sampling is in the middle of a pixel instead of near between
pixels
(which can make the picture more fuzzy or more noisy or both).  It then
remembers this setting separate for each different line rate and/or line
count
it detects (in the better monitors).

TVs with VGA inputs don't seem to do this as well.  If you can use the
HDMI
input with a DVI to HDMI cable from a DVI capable video graphics card,
that
eliminates the pixel syncronization issues.
