Hello. I own an old monitor (LG W2243T), 1920x1080 @ 60hz. I tend to play FPS games, like csgo and now Fortnite. The thing is, I formatted my PC and now it wont let me create custom resolutions with a higher refresh rate. I played on 1440x900 @ 75hz with no problem, now, when I try to switch to those settings, my monitor gives me an alert message: "Out of signal 83 khz / 75khz", or something like that. Is it a driver problem? Dont know what couldve changed after I reinstalled windows. I am running out of options, I can list pc specs, etc, if needed.
GPU driver are up to date. Have not installed chipset drivers yet. I am trying that, thanks for the tip. I will message soon.
I solved it. Switched from 1280x1024@75hz instead of 1920x1080@60hz to 1440x900@75hz, weird. Thank you for your time anyways
Well... if you have been told it could damage your monitor, then why are you doing that? What's wrong with the default 1920 x 1080 @ 60hz setting?
For FPS games its better to play in higher refresh rates over resolution, 1440x900 feels like the perfect balance on my monitor since it gives the max refresh rate and a good image quality. 1280x720 on a 1920x1080 monitor loses a lot of quality and I cant distinguish objects/players playing Fortnite, for example. 15hz makes a lot of difference to me.
