This has been in Windows in the screen resolution configuration option for some time.

Ah, the lost joy of trying out various screen resolutions and refresh rates on your new monitor.

nvidia drivers (probably ati too) let you create custom resolutions. I got my monitor to do 1080p@120hz that way. (default supported is only 60hz)

Yeah, but this is largely moot now that monitors have "native resolutions" with fixed numbers of pixels.

I think it has been like this since Windows 3.1, so “some time” might be an understatement.
