--- Comment #8 from Michał Dybczak <michal.dybc...@gmail.com> ---
I established with Roman Gilg that this issue is a mix of few things:

- my secondary monitor doesn't communicate the frequencies and refreshes rates
correctly (or it is some xrandr bug that doesn't read that info correctly?),
because there are options showed on the xrandr list but when chosen, the
monitor doesn't accept them - not a Plasma problem
- since Plasma hides fractional frequencies and shows only the most popular
popular and rounded numbers on purpose, causes some options not to work
correctly when the above problem appears as well, so in the end I get with
almost no options or not working options or options that are working but I
don't want them, the only workaround for it is to set the monitors directly via
xrandr in the terminal, GUI is too simplistic currently - this is somewhat a
Plasma issue, maybe adding ADVANCED mode where fractional frequencies were
shown, we could experiment and choose correct settings?
- some options should be shown but aren't - Plasma issue

Since this was tested a few weeks ago when I and Roman Gilg looked at it, I
might have confused some things, so Roman, can you look over it, correct my
conclusions or add something?

I feel like there has to be some decision about it but first we need to make
things clear. Otherwise this bug will be hanging here indefenitelly.

So although GUI is working as it supposes to, it can't handle correctly some
cases and that is the Plasma issue at hand. The goal as I understand it is to
have a capable GUI that allows us to avoid terminal fiddling for some
relatively basic things like setting correct multi-monitor setup.
