Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 and screen refresh rate.

After updating to 1809, my BenQ (XL2720-B) becomes hit or miss ever windows boot on 144mhz, sometimes only 60 or 100mhz when loaded and

cant switch to 144, so i have to play lottery reboot. sometimes (i do that first) removing and attaching again DP-port works.

My current GPU driver is GF 416.16 on GTX1080.

Is there a work around to keep it 144 at boot?

:)

 

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.

"screen refresh rate"

The "screen refresh rate" feature on "Monitor tab" of "Display Adaptor Properties" , should remove on Windows 7.

It seems this feature "damages monitors".
