So, is this tested on any monitor:

# V-freq: 100.00 Hz // h-freq: 127.66 KHz
Modeline "1600x1200" 417.70 1600 1808 2312 3272 1200 1200 1205 1276

Note: My monitor is HP P1130 (the same as Sony G520)
I am asking just before I triy it or can somebody tell me could this be
dangerous for my monitor to try :-)
