check that please - cannot find it in Viewsonic's catalog. Post link to specs page if possible.
I have found a
Viewsonic VE700? The maz H-sync is supposed to be 80. But for TFT monitors, it's not supposed to matter as they don't "scan" anyway.

After playing around I use HorizSync 30.0 - 62.0, I can run x but the resolution is poor. Windows and fonts look huge

If the windows and fonts look huge, then it is probably using 640x480 or something nuts like that. But:

... this suggests that you are running X all the time but your monitor is shutting down to protect itself from something ... probably you running hi-res at high refresh rates.
The max rates are normally only for the lower resolutions. I suspect you can just comment out the sync speeds altogether. If you don't like that, set them to 50 or something.
