I did a search and couldn't find anything relevant. Or maybe I didn't look hard enough. Have a question about running your monitor out of spec. I have just added a second monitor to my setup, an old Dell 1226H 19" monitor running at 1600 X 1200 resolution to match my Sony CPD-G520 21" Monitor. This monitor is fairly old, it comes from my Dell Dimension XPS R450 that I recently retired, but kept the monitor. My question is, the max that the monitor supposedly supports is 75Hz @ 1600 X 1200 resolution, but after installing UltraMon I now have the option to run it at 85Hz. I would prefer to run it at 85Hz. (I have sensitive eyes and 75Hz is about my borderline) Is it safe to run at 85Hz or should I just play it safe and run at 75Hz? This monitor is fairly old (4 years+) and am hoping to replace it with a Sony CPD-E540 as soon as I can save up enough money. Thanks for your replies.
