Hi. Just got me a new LG l2000c 20.1" monitor. According to the user manual the "Sync input" horizontal frequency is 28-83kHz and the Vertical 56-85kHz. Should i insert these values to my xorg.conf file, since the present values are something else. Also the user manual says that the recomended resolution 1600x1200 should be used with 75.0 and 60 kHz. Is this controlled by the computer or the monitor??

You can safely use the Horizontal and Vertical sync input settings provided in your User Manual. This will allow X-Windows / Xorg to fully utilize the display. If you use the recommended screen resolution (1600x1200) you should set the refresh rate at either 60 or 75 Hz. as recommended. 75 Hz. is easier on the eyes than 60 Hz. Any other refresh rate may damage the display.
