I had the same exact problem with HL2. I could only play for about 15 minutes before I developed some nasty motion sickness, and I'd have to lay down and stare at a wall for another 30 minutes thereafter just to feel normal again. This was while playing on a Sony G420 CRT (1280x1024 @ 100Hz) and refresh rate was not an issue.
Then I happened to get a new 30" LCD HDTV and subsequently decided to hook my computer up to it using DVI. I tried HL2 again in widescreen (1280x768) while sitting about eight feet away from the screen. Motion sickness was completely eliminated, and I was able to play for six hours straight if I wanted with no ill-effects.
Not sure if it was sitting so far back from the screen, the larger size of the screen, the widescreen format, or all/none of the above that eliminated the motion sickness. All I know is that I'm just glad it's gone.
