Hi Bryce, Two issues. The first is that the monitor has the wrong default rate. This means that the display is off to the side and bits of the screen are missing. If you know what you are doing, you can change the refresh rate directly through the terminal, but it does not stick after reboot.
The second thing is that there is no way, so far as I can see, of changing the refresh rate through the display option as there was with Lucid. With Lucid you could change the refresh rate in this way and it would then stick after a reboot.

Changing this is not easy because the Display settings no longer offer the possibility to change this rate. Refresh rate can be changed through terminal window (xrandr -r 75 or whatever refresh rate you want) however this change is not permanent. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz CurrentDmesg: [ 52.681863] audit_printk_skb: 21 callbacks suppressed [ 52.681868] type=1400 audit(1331476769.403:27): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5" name="/usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/" pid=1644 comm="mission-control" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:29c2] (rev 10) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device [1458:d000] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 (20120301) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
