Anyway I can get my LCD to run @ 64hz in Win7?

[yusux]

Back in Win Vista, I could use add custom resolution for 64hz, but since Win7, it's been locked at 59hz, everytime I turn it to 60hz it defaults back to 59hz..

Thanks for the irrelevant personal attacks on other members. No more help for you on this subject. Go back to 30 Hz for all I care.

59/60Hz is fine,whats the point of running at 64Hz?

cause 64hz is better

Its a bug I think. In windows xp I can do 75hz on my 2209WA no problem. But in windows 7 it will only do 59hz not matter what I do...

lol that 4hz is going to make a huge difference

Better... how?

When I used the Windows 7 RC I had the same bug, with the refresh rate being stuck at 59Hz. My monitor's default refresh rate is 60Hz and that one single Hz caused massive issues when I tried to game. The screen simply would not stop tearing, just because it was at 59Hz instead of 60Hz. Trust me, it makes a big difference.

 

[lavaheadache]

the thread is a riot. Of course, running with the 4 extra mhz reduces tearing lol.

Thanks for posting the most annoying response possible for these types of question/the guy is looking for an answer not your opinion

60Hz in my opinion is NOT fine, nor is it close to acceptable for the kind of things i do on a computer, 120Hz is kinda acceptable and 240 is "fine" for me


For those who like productive answers: try editing your EDID file, ive never done it before, but it seems like something that would fix it (not 100% sure again) but im sure google will help you determine if its a fix for you or not

Im pretty sure his monitor is designed for 60hz so yes 60hz would be fine. what we he possibly accomplish at 64hz?

also there are only two 120hz and ZERO 240hz monitors made so you make no sense. even the tvs that can do that are completely different.

 

[brblx]

yeah, i'm sure you can see the difference between 120hz and 240hz, especially since the latter doesn't exist...

LCD TV marketing != actual refresh rate.

i have no idea what the OP is talking about concerning a 64hz refresh rate. is the 59hz setting actually causing problems in games, or do you think that 1hz (or 5hz) extra is actually going to somehow improve performance or visual fidelity?

edit- wow, did it somehow take me ten minutes to write this post? it's late...

Sad we get members like you that start a silly argument,you noticed I had a question mark at the end of my first post,my point was it won't make much difference over 60Hz on a LCD,its not even a standard refresh rate so I was curious why he wanted to do so,as a gamer and beta gamer myself using 59/60Hz I was very curious of his answer,it was a valid legit post.

Well there is a big difference between 60 and 120, but not 60/64,throw in input lag,response time on LCDs(depending on the model in question) and you can see its really only part of it,however as you said thats just your opinion ,we all game differently and have different expectations.

I suggest next time you be more polite,most members here post for a reason not to troll or cause arguments,remember I had a question mark at the end of my post,if you want take it up with a MOD.

75hz works fine on windows 7 with my 37" Westinghouse.

if monitor accepts 75Hz input and has 75Hz rate, then great, but most of monitors will refresh @ 60Hz no matter what you set.

Using the monitor's menu you should be able to see what it's using. Most LCDs will go blank and post some sort or message when you've go over a supported setting.

I think even thought W7 says your refresh rate is only 59Hz the monitor itself is actually at 60Hz. The OS is reporting the wrong refresh rate. Mine does the same thing. 59HZ in the OS but on the OSD of my monitor it says 60HZ.

From what I understand, most LCD's are set to receive 60 hz frame rate anyways. This is done in hardware so it doesn't matter if the source is sending a higher frame rate signal because the LCD can only receive 60 hz a second.

Another issue is that LCD's also do not have the traditional refresh rate as we're familiar with it from the CRT days. The LCD screen will display the same image unless told to change to something else. The response time (response rate) is how fast a pixel changes from black to white and back to black again. The older LCD's with slow response times would cause smearing though this is much less noticeable in today's faster LCD's. Either way, the old refresh rate really can't be applied to LCD's.

So if the OP has a monitor that can only receive 60 hz frame rate a second and he set it to 64 hz, it wouldn't matter because the LCD is still only capable of receiving 60 hz. You could set it to 300 hz as I said and the LCD will still only receive 60 hz.

There are plenty of LCDs supporting 60Hz on the native and 75Hz on lower resolutions, which completely goes against what your saying.

Mine is rated for 75Hz @ 1280x1024 and 60 @ 1920x1080, but it's can also runs 70Hz @ 1920x1080 and 75Hz @ 1600x900 just fine. If I try to run 75Hz or higher on 1920x1080 I'll get a black screen with a popup warning message.

If for some reason the monitor did take a higher refresh rate from the PC, but only displayed 60Hz it would make vsync useless as it would cause screen tearing.

When I set to 64hz back in Vista, even my LCD osd shows 64hz.

Back then, when I had an ATi card on Win XP with powerstrip, I could even get it to run at 65hz.
