There was an interesting discussion about this here several months ago, the 
failure mode for CRTs seems to be to do with the high voltage circuitry, 
especially the coils that move the electron beam around.  LCDs don't have 
that stuff.

Besides, those numbers are the minimum and maximum values X can use for that 
monitor, I set them to those values only so I would not get otherwise 
acceptable modes rejected because of X's idea of the monitor capability.  In 
reality I use one mode only which I set up months ago.
