FCP sync problem with AG neovo Monitor

I am working on a Macbook pro (10.6.4 - 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and am currently using an AG neovo monitor as a dual screen. I am using external speakers via the headphone port on the computer and am working on a Prores HQ sequence 25fps 1920x1080 in FCP 7.0.3.

The problem I'm having is that when I try to use the AG monitor as external video playback in FCP, the video on the AG is not in sync with the sound. Playback is also quite sticky. I've tried messing around with the 'Playback control' in 'System settings' but it hasn't helped.

Also the current resolution of my macbook pro is at 1440x900 but the AG is at 1600x1200. The AG doesn't have an option for 1440. The highest setting they have in common is 1344, but when I tried setting both resolutions to 1344 it didn't solve the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to solve this issue?

Please let me know if you need any more information or if I haven't explained clearly enough what the issue is.

Kind regards
Alice

Thanks for responding, have solved the problem by making sure that both monitors are set to the same colour display profile in 'System preferences' - 'displays' - 'colour'. As long as both monitors are set to the same one then the sync is fine. It does mean that one of the monitors (basically the one which is using the other one's colour profile) has a funny colour to it, but I can work with that.

Just to clear up confusion I was connecting to the AG nuevo monitor via a DVI adapter.

Thanks for taking the time to respond though, it was your response which made me look up the colour profiles and solve it.
