The video mode selected should match your monitor's capabilities. In general, refresh rates below
70Hz are discouraged on CRT monitors, as they tend to show flicker based on the lighting source
and surrounding equipment. Flat panel displays generally prefer a 60Hz refresh rate.
The available resolutions are monitor dependent.
The default video mode is 1024 x 768 @70Hz and 24 bits per pixel depth.
