If you are running 2K or XP, check the box that says hide resolutions that this monitor cannot support and you will not get in trouble. I always run as high as I can get, up to and including 100 Hz, anything over that is really overkill. My present monitor (CTX PL-9) is good to 100 Hz at 1024x768, but 85 is the top end at 1280x1024. I can tolerate 75, but 85 is noticeably better and 100 is even better than that. When I work on customers' machines that are set to 60, my eyes hate me at the end of the day. If you try to set a resolution and refresh that's not supported, good monitors will just sit there and stare at you with an "out of range" message.
