Need some kind of constant motion.

Maybe that's because it's not its native frequency. Well, whatev. Mine's refresh rate always stays at 60Hz, at least when I go into its option menu (1920x1200).
Also, you mentioned washed out colors. The monitors by default come with their brightness and contrast set to zero (in the monitor settings). Try setting both of these values to about 50, and you should notice a pretty colossal change. Also, run that HP display helper utility I gave you in a PM, it'll further help you get a better display.

Oh, the thing with the "drivers", I installed that the day after I got the monitor. The colors are fine now. I should have mentioned that.
Since you brought up the refresh rate, where does it say 60hz? Under information on the monitor, or on the computer? My monitor's information screen displays 59.7hz, however under the nVidia control panel it lists 59hz.
[edit] DXDiag says its running at 59hz as well.
Acording tho this its a case of bad rounding. Furthermore, its not a problem. Well, it sure as hell seems to be a problem for me.
[edit2] At the bottom of this page someone else concluded that a similar problem is resulting in dropped frames.

Hmmm...
I looked at my monitor's settings, and it had a flat 60 for the vertical, and 74.1k for the horizontal. I then went into dxdiag, and it also listed my display mode as a flat 60Hz on the refresh rate.
I'm not really sure what's up with that, maybe a difference between ATI and Nvidia drivers. I think I actually have gone into my monitor's settings and noted that it had a 59.7 or so at some point, but I haven't seen it since then (it's at 60 right now). By the way, seriously, if you haven't tried turning your brightness and contrast to (around) 50 in the monitor settings, I highly suggest doing so. The difference is pretty big (at least in my opinion).

Doesn't play completely smooth for me either. It goes: tick, tick, tick, etc.
