alecjw Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I've been trying to push my monitor a bit lately, and see what it can do.I've been increasing the frequencies to very high numbers. I managed to get my LCD 17" to do 150Hz, more than double its usual frequency (60Hz).Has anyone ever gone higher than that? Is it safe? What will my monitor do if I force it to do a frequency which it can't?Thanks in advance.

alecjw Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Probably should, but my warranty isn't void until >150Hz! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16838-monitor-frequencies/#findComment-71000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 If you go beyond the available frequency, you won't be able to see anything. You will need to hook it up to something that can view it at that frequency to find the screen controls to reduce it. I don't recommend pushing it anywhere close to that high.The whole point of the frequency is to avoid screen flicker. The human eye cannot notice the differences above something like 70Hz. I'm not even sure it's that high. Most monitors only go up to 85Hz, and that's even too high. You're only going to burn the equipment out faster using refresh rates that high.

Koobi Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 i installed Symphony OS once and it didn't detect my VGA so i manually up'd my refresh rate and the monitor burnt out :( Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16838-monitor-frequencies/#findComment-71113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
