As far as I understand this, if the probe fails we compute sync ranges
for a 60Hz vert refresh. Would it be possible to assume that at least
any reasonnable monitor out there can do 75Hz at its nominal
resolution?

Standing from the PoV of end user not necessarily having a fsckin clue
how to deal with sync ranges, I think that the pain of having to cope
with such a low refresh rate would be leveraged if we setup 75Hz by
default...

I'm also considering those of us using architectures where DDC probe
fails no matter what ;)

Just my 2 cents.
