Since this is a Linux list, why not post the horizontal sync scan rate
limitations, since thats really what will be determining what anyone
on the list can do with them (modelines). They ought to be in the
manuals somewhere. 

A Princeton Ultra75 17" monitor, sold as a 1280x1024 monitor, will do
1600x1200 no problem if you are willing to put up with a 55Hz scanrate
(hideous for browsing the web cause of all the white backgrounds...)
.. I run mine at 1440x1080 and a 59.1Hz refresh, which is just far
enough away from 60Hz to avoid problems with fluroscent lights and/or
any nearby TVs or other 60Hz monitors (60Hz looks way worse under
those conditions... ).
