If you notice what you quoted and think about it, or at least Google it,
you'll find that the VP191S is a flat panel display. Virtually all of them
are intended to be run at 60, but are compatible with a somewhat narrow
range in order to ensure they will work with all video cards and with common
settings in effect on startup when they have freshly replaced a CRT that
likely was run at something other than 60.

I have one flat panel, and a whole bunch of CRTs. I run them all at 60, and
see no strobe effect from any of them. Keeping them all set the same at 60
means when I switch among various operating systems and resolutions and
video drivers and video cards I suffer a minimum of need to adjust the
display size controls on the CRTs.
