Can I get the maximum refresh rates this monitor can do from 640x480 to 1024x768?

I was thinking of getting one of them, but I cant find the exact refresh rates anywhere.

From memory:

648*480 = 120Hz
800*600 = 120Hz
1024*768 = 100Hz
1280*1024 = 85Hz
1600*1200 = 75Hz

Thats with "optimal" refresh rates. I usually dont force higher res but I think max is 180Hz.

Ack those refresh rates suck =(

Are you sure 1024 cant go higher then 100??

BTW my Sony 200GS (17incher) can do the same refresh rates from 640x to x1024 =(

Sorry to disapoint but the G400 looks like nearly the same specs. Taken from Sony's site for the G400:

Maximum Resolution

1800 x 1440 @ 70Hz
Recommended Resolution

1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz
1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz

So it does 10Hz more than the E400 at 1600*1200 but at 1280*1024 its the same. I would bet its 100hz at 1024 also. But what difference does it make anyway? There isnt any flicker at 75Hz so whats the big deal?

Sorry, but I want a -quality- monitor with high refresh rates topping out the deal.
If it cant do 120hz at 1024, screw it, I'll look for another monitor.
