DisplayConfigX gives you a wide range of resolutions and sets them to whatever your monitor supports (auto detected, if your monitor supports EDID 1.2). If you want 100Hz resolutions or if the default resolutions aren't enough, this is your tool. Provides pretty much arbitrary resolutions (depending on your hardware).

DisplayConfigX works with most decent vga monitors and graphic cards and supports DVI monitors and HDTV style devices.

What's New:
Optionally keeps default resolutions.

Mac OS X 10.2.x, 10.3.x, 10.4.x (10.3.8 or better recommended)

PowerBook G4 (external monitor connector)
iMac G5 (with mirror patch)
eMac (no big gain, though)
NOT SUPPORTED: PowerBook G3, iMac CRT version, iBook

Graphics card:
NVIDIA GeForce 6800, FX, FX Go, 4MX (2MX seems to require 10.3.x)
ATI Radeon, certain Rage Pro 128 (apparently not all Rage Pro 128 versions work)
others, if sufficiently integrated in MacOSX (old NDRV style drivers won't work).
NOT SUPPORTED: ATI Rage, Rage Mobility, Rage Pro (drivers lack required features).

Monitor:
Analog multi-sync monitor, TFT, HDTV (given adequate connectors)
