My power cable for the system is heavy duty as opposed to the monitor power cable. Not too much up on this, but I would stick with the power cable that the monitor came with and make sure you push in firmly
Regarding the resolution, I did actually thoroughly read the documentation before posting but just wanted to check as I was told the max was 60hz at 1,280 x 1,024 which just seemed a little odd.
As for the power cable, it is pushed in as firmly as possible although it does wobble. Still, I'll persevere with it knowing that the monitor is under warranty.
CRT’s are scalable, and you can raise or lower the resolution settings. LCD’s however, are different. Any settings lower than the native resolution results in either letterboxing, which maintains image quality by shrinking the image to a compatible size. Or keeps the full screen image, but adjusts for missing pixels, sacrificing image quality.
Screen flicker with an LCD is not an issue since the monitor does not refresh like a CRT monitor, so a refresh rate of 60 Hz should be just fine.
ClearType settings : Right click an empty space on the desktop, click on Properties next, click on Appearance, than click Effects. In this box, select ClearType instead of STANDARD. Click OK than OK again in the final box. Done

60 or 75 hz can be set for that monitor.
