custom refresh rates? damage montors? Your opinion

[afireinsideme]

Well I have a sony g400 and to stop a problem i have I'm using powerstrip to run at a 103/94 refresh rate instead of the default 100/92 is that going to kill my monitor or anything?

 

[whooosh]

when in doubt, don't do it.

If your monitor can't handle the refresh rate, there'll be no picture.

anyone else??? I know some of you do this to fix your wavy lines with most geforce 2 ultras and some geforces 3s..............So any problems with those who have done it, btw if you've done it how long have you been doing it?

I have never not customized my refresh rates. Examples:

1600x1200 - 75hz
1280x1024 - 100hz
1024x768 - 120hz
800x600 - 130
640x480 - 130


My current monitor has been in this state since I've had it...for about 2 years now, with no noticeable damage that I can see.
