Thank you very much for your solution!!
Thanks to you, my Philips 109s can run again in 2010!

What, they didn't support EDID?

No, the 109s has an EDID with a minimum frequency of 75Hz on Windows 7.
But for a resolution of 1600x1200, the screen can only go up to 70Hz.
At 75Hz, the image displayed on the screen but is brown and blackened edges.

Again thank you for using your tutorial!

Hi, I just got the Samsung LCD SynyMaster 2233RZ 120hz. The monitor came with a DVI-DL link but my laptop that I want to connect it to does not support DVI. I went ahead and bought a DVI-D to HDMI Cable. It won't let me surpass 60hz when I try to change the refresh rate. I tried following this guide but it seems so confusing. Can anyone help?

Is there anyway to restore default settings? When I tried using this guide I was careless and experimented with the wrong things.

So I went ahead and plugged my old CRT in that i KNOW gets 100hz on 1024x768. I ran through all the directions correctly and when I restart it shows in drop-down menu that I have the ability to put it to a 100hz. But once I click apply my screen says out of range/frequency? I know for a fact it has something to do with my computer not the monitor itself. Any ideas?

I returned the Samsung 2233RZ to newegg. I am now using an old Dell CRT E773c Dell E773c - display - CRT - 17" - CRT Monitors - CNET Archive I am attempting to hook it to my gaming lenovo laptop which has an ATI cart 5730 HD 1GB. When I open MonInfo it reads this
