No, I don't use a desktop environment, just a tailored window manager.
For testing purpose I will install all that's needed.

I'm one of them, on 19" CRT's I e.g. need much higher refresh rates than
75 Hz.

"On smaller CRT monitors (up to about 15 in or 38 cm), few people
notice any discomfort between 60–72 Hz. On larger CRT monitors (17 in
or 43 cm or larger), most people experience mild discomfort unless the
refresh is set to 72 Hz or higher. A rate of 100 Hz is comfortable at
almost any size. However, this does not apply to LCD monitors. The
closest equivalent to a refresh rate on an LCD monitor is its frame
rate, which is often locked at 60 fps. But this is rarely a problem,
because the only part of an LCD monitor that could produce CRT-like
flicker—its backlight (if fluorescent; LEDs have no flicker)—typically
operates at around 200 Hz." -
