Have a look at the Pixel Timing your 1600x1200 LCD Panel reports via DDC.
There are stupid monitors out there, like my Fujitsu Siemens P20-2. It
reports incredible high sync values, like used for old CRT monitors. If this
recommended pixel timing is used, like at least XOrg 6.9 does, this results
in incredible high pixel frequencies. This results in the TMDS transmitter
to (temporary) shut off.
