IBM P260

Except give me higher refresh rates, I just replaced my Gateway 24" with this monster of a CRT and I'm in heaven. Only place I can find the driver for download is on driversguide and i'm too lazy to sign up for an account. I don't need to run 100hz @ 1600x1200 but if it'll add some ICC's or something I might want it.

 
I don't believe you need the driver. It should allow you to select 1600x1200 @ 85Hz and 1920x1440 @ 75Hz. Sometimes even with the proper driver, it won't give you every resolution and refresh rate that the monitor supports. I usually get the driver just for the heck of it. Does it identify it as IBM P260?
 
it comes up as a generic monitor, but I'm able to run 1600x1200 @ 120Hz so I'm more than happy, had no freaking idea any screen could run 120Hz @ such a high resolution. Can't say I notice any difference from where it was before - 85 but I figured it I could select 120 I might as well.

this monitor is BAD ASS, only LCD thing I miss is how the picture took up 100% of the screen automatically I can never get this stupid size/center crap spot on 🙂
 
I wouldn't think the P260 could support 120Hz at 16x12. The horizontal scan rate is 121KHz. The max refresh rate should be 95Hz. You would need a monitor with a 152KHz H.Scan which doesn't exsist.
121000 / 1200 * .95 = 95.8Hz
It might be hard on the monitor and shorten the life. Higher refersh rates are blurrier anyway. I suggest stick with 75 or 85Hz.

You could get the ICC profile on IBM's web site. It says it's for Win98 but should work with XP too.
