Interestingly, most 60hz monitors I've tested can tolerate the SNES/NES weird refresh rate without problems. In Windows you can create such a video mode with ToastyX's CRU, and with custom modelines on Linux. All you have to do is take your monitor's native modeline and multiply the pixel clock value by the ratio of 60.0988/your_normal_refresh rate. Within a thousandth of a frame or so is usually close enough, but if you mess with the blanking intervals a bit you can get exactly the same rate. Monitors generally don't hit 60Hz exactly anyway. A lot of cheap monitors have really inaccurate default refresh rates, like 59.93Hz instead of 60. Some may use 59.94Hz to match NTSC's rate.
