When I go into my nVidia Control Panel, its telling me that my monitor is set to only 59Hz. Even though I had already created a custom resolution setting to run at 60Hz and everytime I select 60Hz from the drop down menu, then click on Apply, it reverts back to 59Hz. How do I set it so that it's always running at 60Hz instead of 59?

FYI, I have a Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24" 1920x1200 LCD Monitor.

Supposedly there is no difference between 59.94 and 60. But if you want to force 60 after setting Refresh Rate to 60 then choose Timing Manual and set the Refresh Rate box value in the lower right side to 60.001; it's near Pixel Clock.
