[OT] LCD resolutions

Hi Everyone,

I'm spec'ing out some LCDs to be used with thin clients (will be booting
Thinstation to connect to a CentOS 4 X server).  I'm a little confused
about LCD refresh rates.

If a LCD monitor's resolution is listed as 1280x1024 @ 135 MHz, does
that mean that resolution is only available at that refresh rate?  What
if a lower refresh is used?  Would the LCD monitor change the resolution
to something lower, or would it stay at 1280x1024, but with just a lower
refresh?

I'm assuming that anything lower than the 135 MHz means a lower
resolution.  But, I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.

Incidentally, the thin clients will most likely be based on the Via EPIA
5000 motherboards.  Their on board video can do 1024x768x16 and
1280x1024x16 @ the max 85 Hz,
1600x1200 @ 60 Hz.

Regards,

Ranbir
