What's going to matter most is your dotclock... which strictly speaking 
is a characteristic of your videocard, but apparently really is
something about how it talks to the LCD.

Dealt with one machine that you could give any ol' insane values to as long
as its modelines had 65.15 dotclock (or within about .5 of that). Not
sure who the LCD manufacturer was, but the video card was something in
the ATI family.
