I'm as bemused as you about the issue. I've seen *one* fixed frequency
monitor, and that was sitting on a shelf at Snell & Wilcox
(http://www.snellwilcox.com/). Admittedly it was plugged into a real-time
HDTV compositing system with 64 GB of RAM at the time... can you even buy
them any more?
LCD panels are essentially fixed frequency monitors. They understand
ddc2 nowadays though.
there is nothing wrong with fixed frequency monitors its just a
problem of telling the graphics adapter what the default mode is.
i have a bias for hardware that can figure things out by themselves.
