-One thing we might be able to do is figure out the best *known*

-the highest refresh rate set for any resolution >= to the one

+We can find out the active refresh rate:

+If the resolution and bit depth we're setting is <= the current,

 If this gives anything above 60 at all, it's a big win for sensible
