The VRT19-HA appears to be the model of the tube, and the GDM-1961
appears to be the model of the monitor.

130Hz seems insanely high.  At any rate, a quick google on those model
numbers turns up the following useful URLs:

  http://www.griffintechnology.com/monitors/DEC23.html

  http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/sony/gdm1961.html

The specs don't seem to completely agree (one link is geared toward
Macs, which may explain...), but in any event the monitor appears to
operate at 75Hz, which is much more reasonable than 130Hz.  Virtually
any decent recent video card will work at that refresh rate, at most
reasonable resolutions.

Google is your friend...  =8^)
