Monitor timing/sync is hardware specific and in some cases, if you get it wrong, you can do permanent damage to your monitor. Use gtf(1) to probe your hardware to figure out timings/sync for your desired resolution/refresh, and then do a sanity check of the reported values against the hardware documentation.
