I'm now convinced that the flicker I'm seeing is caused by my laptop and not the display itself. I hooked up my MBA to a Dell LCD display via a mini-display port to VGA adaptor. When I use the 1920x1200 resolution, it flickers too. If I drop the resolution its fine.

It seems that (at least for my MBA) it can sometimes barely keep up with the display's refresh rate for a hi-res setting. It gets worse when it's recharging the battery and has a USB peripheral attached, so it may be a power-related issue.

Has anyone else with the flicker problem tried hooking up to a VGA display with the same resolution?
