I could be mistaken, but I believe most LCD panels with VGA input use
"fairly standard" setup, i.e. I've never seen one that wasn't autodetected
and used a vertical refresh rate of 60 Hz (my SyncMaster 913v is currently
running at 1280x1024 63.9kHz 60Hz PP, if that means anything to you).

That said DVI is a whole other kettle of fish.
