I'm pretty sure the 21" version of my monitor would do that too, but  
it was about 3 times the price of the one I have :o)

I did find the principle limiting factor to the maximum screen res  
vs. refresh rate was actually the horizontal scan rate. I guess  
that's the bit that requires the high-speed bit as it has to do that  
for every row.

FWIW mine has no type of colour calibration. It's actually a bummer  
because it has a bleed in one corner - not a bad one but you notice  
it when you are working in OS X because of all the white bits. It's  
not a gauss issue - I went over all that - I guess it's just not that  
expensive a monitor that it is guaranteed to be consistent.
