Conflicting Refresh Rate

This might be a better place to ask:

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1720 and just got an engineer to replace the original 59 Hertz screen with a 60 Hertz one, as I read in some forums that some games may rely on a 60 Hertz reading to run properly. Afterwards, I noticed that in the 'Display Settings' and 'dxdiag', the refresh rate is shown as 60 Hertz.

However, Dell's own QuickSet application gives a refresh rate reading of 59 Hertz under System Information. I asked dell about this, but they don't know why QuickSet says 59 Hertz. So can I safely ignore QuickSet's reading and just rely on the 'dxdiag' readings as more accurate ?
