I have a Samsung SyncMaster 204B, but it is on a Windows PC.
As for the frequency, 60 Hz is not good in close proximity to fluorescent lights.
I had a lot of visual defects in two different units, until I changed to 120 Hz(I think).
That's true with CRTs. I think it may be less important with LCDs. I have a SyncMaster 213T at home, and if you use the DVI port you have no choice but 60 Hz. I've never noticed any flicker from it. Most of the lighting in my apartment is CFLs.
The only reason CRT flicker bothers the eye is because of the time it takes the electron guns to return to the top of the screen. Since LCDs don't have an electron gun (I think the whole screen refreshes at once), the flicker is not really noticeable since there is no waiting for the gun to reposition.
