Try to identify what's causing your discomfort: Does your monitor flicker when you're running Debian? Fonts too small/blurry? Bad color scheme? Something else?
For CRT monitors, anything below 75Hz refresh rate results in visible flickering, in my experience. For LCD, 60Hz seems to work just fine.

Consider removing proprietary drivers as an experiment. I'm running wheezy with LCD and ATI chipset without any proprietary drivers and it works well for me.
