So I got a really cheap monitor and I'm not buying another one yet. It only goes up to 1366 by 768 pixels. When it runs at 75 hz, it needs a screen of at least 1024 by 768 or lower. So I want to play on 1280 by 1024, but the monitor only lets me use specific sizes like 1366x768, 1280x720, 1024x768, and some smaller ones. Then my friend told me to turn on CRU and add 1280x1024 to the list. Okay. Here is my question: Will using that "unsupported resolution" hurt my monitor? No, but are there any problems or side effects by doing it? PS I don't care about picture quality much. I can play CS:GO at 640 by 480 all day if I get 60 to 80 fps from my bad hardware. Also, I'm broke so... it is what it is too. And add me on valorant Luft Waffen SS #00000
You should swap out the monitor if you really have a bad luck day or something goes wrong, because breaking one is risky. Even though you're unlikely to break it, if it fails and you can't get it fixed, things just get worse.
Normally, a monitor won't show bad settings like high resolution or low quality. It just turns black and shows an "out of range" message. But because you're talking about a really cheap monitor, I can't say for sure. If it's so cheap that there are no tests at all, then you don't even know if something is broken inside.
