I wasn't aware that monitor sync's can be "probed" -- as going out of
range can destroy the monitor... I always reference the (usu) last page of
the monitor's manual, which list the specs, operating conditions, FCC
license, etc. Most decent monitors are capable of far more than SaX's
default, AFAIK... It always bugs me, though, when I see a computer on TV
that is using stupid-low rates, and it looks horrible against the TV's
scans... The way I see it, if it looks bad on TV, it's gonna hurt my eyes
IRL. The manufacturer, whomever that really is, should have specs
available.
