There are indeed stories about bad display card settings damaging CRT 
monitors in the past.

Windows 9x had the same settings in the registry somewhere, useful if
you wanted more pixels, or less flicker, on your CRT.

According to some (probably wrong) pack-rat stuff I surprisingly still

HKEY_CONFIG\DISPLAY\RESOLUTION

But that very well may've been shorthand so it'd fit on the notecard.
