No I have a single Hanns G - HH281 28" Lcd. I do notice If I change the display settings to windows 7 basic it greatly reduces the browsing flicker on task bar.

For me the only fix atm is to change monitor to 60hz, that completely fixes it to me but 60hz looks so damn laggy after when used to 120hz

I'm not sure if its just 120 hz monitors thats affected, at 1920x1200 my monitor can only do 60 hz, no more, and I don't see 120 hz anyware regardless of the screen resolution. I did switch to 1920x1080 and I at least have the option of using 59 hz instead, I'm testing that now...

Hmm well your first ive heard to have that with single 60hz monitor, or do you have multiple screens? I know some peoples are having it with multiple 60hz monitors but thats basicly same thing than using single 120hz one.

I have the same video card and you're not the only one with the same issue, I'm assuming its a driver issue, and its more apparent when scrolling up or down in an open browser window.

Yup it gets more even more noticeable when you scroll up/down. I know its likely driver issue but just cant understand how AMD/ATI driver team makes totally same mistakes with every damn new series of cards, 5 series had this problem with 120hz monitors and so did 6 series when it was released. They dont really seem to know what they are doing, atleast seems like it.

I also think it has something to do with refresh rates... as I said earlier 120 hz is not an option and there's no higher option for the refresh rate @ 1920 x1200, so I went with 1920x1080 @ 59 hz and that did away with the flicker as well.
