There's also xvidtune. Though it's true that Windows video setup
put's X's to shame, it only goes so far. E.g. I was once interviewed
for a television program. Since I have two monitors one my desk (a
22" and a 21" Iiyama :) the trick was to get their syncs equal. With
Windows you can only pick 'a' vert. refresh frequency and that's it.

However with xvidtune you have fine grained control. Unfortunately
that power carries the price of complexety. Still, having the one
show NT I could quite easily 'sync' the second with the first. The
only thing is that it (xvidtune) doesn't show the frequencies used.
Which is a bit of a bummer. Still, it was a trick that crew hadn't
seen before ;).
