Yes, your 'monitor data' is very important as giving wrong data might blow
up some older monitors (don't get dramatic about this though, I've
maltreated several monitors, and I never had one blowing up in my face)
What you need to know about your monitor is:
The highest resolution it can handle and for each resolution the maximum
horizontal and vertical refresh rates. The best place to look for this is in
your monitor's manual, on the manufacturer's website or.... in newsgroups.
