I believe that is just windows rounding off to 59 instead of 60Hz. No monitor runs exactly at 60Hz, its usually something like 59.xx. Not sure why MS did this but it happens on all windows 7 rigs running an lcd (at least from what I've seen). I have not run into any issues with this but I have heard that very few games won't run because of it. Hopefully they fix it up soon. In the meantime you can go over this thread
