Im trying to find the H and V sync rates for the LCD in

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Eric,

  My experience with LCD's is that they have a computer that
basically ignores the refresh rate you send to them.  Remember
that an LCD changes state in response to a voltage through it, it
is not like a phosphor that is hit by a scanned beam then decays
at a set rate.  Each LCD pixel on a LCD panel basically as a
complete driver transister devoted to it, it is not like a picture
tube that is beam-scanned.  There is no real 'refresh' rate of
an LCD panel.  The only thing that is necessary is that the
output of your video card is running at a clock rate that is
understandable to the computer in the LCD display that is
receiving the signal.

  Just pick the maximum sync rates available, if it is too
high the LCD display will ignore it and nothing will display
on screen, you can then try again with a lower value.

Ted
