"Warning: Do not "just" change the values of these two monitor related
variables without consulting the technical specifications of your
monitor. Setting incorrect values lead to out-of-sync errors at best
and smoked up screens at worst."

How dangerous is this?  The danger is analogous to "overclocking" but
applies to the monitor?
