Does the DCE output strictly 50hz of vertical freq? Is the spec info (as link above) incorrect?

No. It just doubles hor. frequency. Vertical is left untouched. If you're using a PAL mode, it's left at 50Hz. If NTSC, 60 Hz. You were either using an NTSC mode or your monitor can handle 50 Hz. I have an Eizo LCD which specs say  only work till 56 Hz, but it does handle 50 Hz perfectly, though displaying an annoying OSD message.

Btw, i take this opportunity to put out a question, can i use multiscan/ productivity mode with the DCE sd/ff?

no. It's not necessary anyway. multiscan productivity mode must be compatible with most LCD/CRT monitors out there. I can use it perfectly fine on my LCD.

yes, you have to use the original RGB port (switch monitors, or get a monitor switcher)

problem is, scandoubler tries to double already doubled multiscan modes, which produce an unsupported frequency for most monitors (well at least mine couldn't handle it).
