Adjusting a 60hz monitor to 75hz
Hi, I own an Asus VS247HR TN 23.6" FHD 16:9 60Hz monitor and I'm wondering if upgrading the refresh rate to 70/75Hz would be safe. I mostly play games and it would be nice, but I'm worried about damaging my screen since I don't have funds for a replacement.
Increasing by a few Hz beyond its limits will only cause a black screen and revert to the original settings. Proceed with caution, making slow adjustments at a time. Avoid sudden jumps like 100 Hz or 120 Hz. A helpful note: two unstable cycles indicate instability, and anything above around 10 Hz may also be unreliable.
Just as processors vary, each monitor also differs. Some are capable of overclocking while others aren't. You'll notice if it becomes unstable. Gradually raise the frequency in 1Hz increments until distortion appears, then lower it again. That's your maximum overclock setting.
I understand your concern. If you increase your monitor's speed to 75Hz but then return it to the default 60Hz, it might seem like nothing changed. However, this could affect performance and potentially reduce the lifespan of the display, even if you later revert to the original setting.
