Wanting to install Debian and been reading over the pre-install
instruction. Suppose to find the Vertical and Horizontal refresh rates
for my monitor. Well went to the "System Info Software" I have and
found one entry saying "vertical refresh: default." Emailed the people
that made the monitor and of course heard zip from them. Here is what I
have so far on the monitor:

Is there perhaps a place I can go to find the "Default rate" for this
monitor. Also getting the idea that a display is different from a
monitor. Going to spend some time today reading up on that. Seem to be
differnet drivers for each. Anyone with a "thumb nail" explanation of
the "display/monitor" difference would be appreciated.
Hope all this rambling on hasn't been to "perfectly Nixonion" but need
the vertical and horizontal refresh rates for my monitor.
