This is the first time I am using an lcd in a 60 in 1 that I am selling.

I am using a Dell 1905fp the kind that rotates vertically and horizontally

I am almost done so I fire it up to check out a few games and in rallyx the background image of the coarse you travel through was tearing something awful, is that normal behavior with a stock desktop lcd?
 
If the refresh rate of the game isn't 60 htz (or whatever the lcd runs at, but 60 is most common) you will get tearing. This is also common in MAME. Some games, like R-Type, have really weird refresh rates. Look up RallyX in MAME and it will tell you if it is further from 60 htz than other games that don't look so bad.
 
maws says all versions of rallyx are 60.06 refresh rates
Hmmm....... makes me wonder whats up
