The way I read this the cells marked with - don't specify that a value
is the same as typical but rather that nobody determined that value.
It's unfortunate because it doesn't give us a good specification of the
timings, but I would suspect that the panel operates perfectly fine if
you use porches and sync pulse widths outside of the above range.

That said, I think it's fine to go with the above until we encounter
display hardware that can't match these constraints.
