Maybe a bit low for a modern monitor. Common ones to start with are:

640x480 at 70
640x480 at 75
800x600 at 60
800x600 at 70
800x600 at 75
1024x768 at 60
1024x768 at 70

Just sub this in place of the 1024x800 at 70 in Ray's suggestion:

(1024x800 Ray?)

If it really is less than 5 years old, and UK spec, the monitor most be 
capable of running in its "recommended" resolution at 70Hz or greater. If its 
a 15", then higher resolutions than 1024x768 are not worth bothering about 
(and probably not supported).
