    Dell S2721DGF dual monitor refresh rate issue


    Hi,

    I've updated my setup dual Dell U2719DC to dual Dell S2721DGF on a Windows 10 pc. The main cause was ghosting text when scrolling, most probably due to the U2719DC 60hz refresh rate.

    I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti but also have an onboard Intel UHD 630.

    Since the GeForce only provides 1 display port, I could only connect one monitor via dp in order to get 165hz refresh rate and had to connect the other via HDMI. There was a visible difference in the way the monitors handle text ghosting and scrolling in both browsers or IDEs. I thought having the second monitor on HDMI may be the cause so I've connected it via dp to the onboard Intel card. Now, I have one monitor connected to Nvidia GeForce and the other one to the onboard Intel card, both setup on 165hz.

    They are setup as extended monitors but the issue is still present. On the monitor set as "main display" scrolling works fine without ghosting but on the other one it doesn't work as good. It's strange since the OSD displays 165hz for both monitors. If I choose "duplicate" instead of "extend" the issues goes away and ghosting is not present on any of the monitors. It's somehow like one monitor would be on 165hz and the other one on 90hz or so.

    Any clue how I can solve the issue ?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Refresh rate Problem

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
    card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

    Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
    120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

    • The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
    • If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
    • Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.
    I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Can't change monitor refresh rate

    Are you using single monitor or dual displays? It would only make sense to move to insider build if you needed to support two or more monitors with different refresh rates.

    What resolution are you running at?

    Monitor refresh rate

    Hi Maypher

    My name is Dayarys I am an independent advisor I will try to help you. Please follow the steps below :

    Click on the Windows logo corner and Open Settings (gear icon).

    Click on System.

    Click on Display.

    Click the Advanced display settings link.

    Click the Display adapter properties for Display 1

    Click the Monitor tab.

    Under "Monitor Settings," use the drop-down menu to select the refresh rate you wish.

    If you already did that like you showing, keep in mind that the refresh rates you can select will always depend on the monitor, graphics adapter, and resolution your device is using.

    Your monitor show the 144hz and 60hz option but doest mean that it works at an intermediate rate.

    You can try to update your graphic card by your laptop manufacturer model or change your resolution, but if you don't have the option no one configuration or software can change it. Sorry to give you bad news.

    Regards Dayarys
