I am aware of that.  However, for the most part it doesn't bother me.
Why would I want to drive the screen at less than optimal?

The only major time when I would want to do that would be if I were to
hook a video source to the display.  And that is why I haven't been
leaping to replace my 17" CRT that I use for displaying DVDs and video
game consoles.
