I would dig further into that, then, if I were you. It sounds like you're
running the monitor close to the winds, it might be worth sitting down
with a piece of paper and going through the math of these modelines of
yours ;)) 

Running monitors at odd rates and things won't really harm them, but it
won't do them any good either. Also, having dodgy pictures coming out can
mess with the tube, they really don't like that kind of thing.. in fact,
running anything 'out of spec.' usually isn't a good idea ;)) 

Cheers,

Alex.
