Same, I have a friend who is much more of a gamer than I am, and he has two 4K 144hz monitors. Both of which were set to 60 for a whole year. When I got him to fix it, he seemed pretty indifferent to it. I guess some people just like having material things without caring about the technical stuff, or even knowing the difference in what they’re paying for.

@vittosphonecollection4134 Ай бұрын

@SaHaRaSquad Ай бұрын

I guess some people never bother looking at settings because they treat tech more like magic and think it always just works, meanwhile others know how much goes wrong all the time in software and have specific preferences, so they check the settings first. I've even seen a PC screen that by default turns itself off after 4 hours no matter what, and of course that was discovered during an important zoom call. That's why I have trust issues.

Same thing goes with color accuracy. Long time ago I met a person who was working as a photo editor, and I noticed some bluish tint she wasn't aware of. It was not a professional grade monitor, but simple adjustments in GPU settings I helped her with, made all reference photos look much more correct to begin with. Later I met another office worker who was using a two-monitor setup, so it didn't even need a trained eye to see that the other screen was very purple, almost like green color signal was running on half strength. Windows built-in calibration tool fixed mostly that as well, to much tolerable level. Both were like, omg it looks so much better now. Edit: And yes, the monitor's own adjustments should always be checked first.

@DavidGoben Ай бұрын

Great vid. One of my Hp UHD monitors was defaulted at 59.85 Hz. I actually saw its higher settings under Settings / System / Display / Advanced Display Settings, but most devices are now smart enough to recommend optimal settings, so I assumed it was correct (even though I oddly automatically sets a monitor to its highest refresh rate for clients using a gaming system, but that is because the docs for the GPU I am installing for them recommends it). After all, every one of this monitor's other settings have a "(Recommended)" tag on them. As an A+ Certified Computer Technician and still a professional software developer and language designer at almost 70 years old, I love it when I can still learn at least one new thing every day. Thanks for giving me another reason to laugh at myself!

This is normal, because some driver uninstallations will delete saved Windows monitor profile data (if you use DDU, it should happen 100% of the time I think).

I hope all these people did further research and understand that now, 60 or 30fps content will not look correct and fluid without also activating VRR/Freesync/Gsync (or picking fixed 120hz instead) Because 144 isn't divisible cleanly by 60 or 30, those framerate won't have proper framepacing, making the motion more stuttery, and a lot of content is 30 fps (youtube) and lots of games at locked to 60fps. To make matter worse Freesync can flicker sometimes on the windows desktop and for some app and rarely some games it's just not gonna work at all. So most monitor let you see on their OSD if the VRR is working properly for whatever content is currently running (the Hz number should slightly randomly change around as it's adjusting the rate dynamically, that's the point of VRR)

Yeah, the first mode reported is the recommended mode, and my best guess is that when it's defaulted lower than the max refresh rate, it's for compatability with, say, subpar cables, and (what should be) a reasonable assumption is made that someone who'd buy a display with a higher-than-standard refresh rate would know how to actually use it.

This was a big deal on CRT-based monitors as the flicker of a 60 Hz was unbearable. I never really paid much attention to this on newer monitors.

@marcusaureliusf Ай бұрын

Yeah a CRT at 60 Hz was flicker hell. I needed at least 72 or 75 Hz. An LCD at 60 Hz is usable tho. It's not high-end but doesn't cause headaches at least.

Sometimes i downgrade the refresh rate down to 60Hz or also down to 30Hz, for example for text documents on an USB monitor, so it does not take too much CPU, to read text on screen there is no need for a high refresh rate. But when i need to do modificatins to the text i set 60Hz (as minimun) on USB monitors... for typing text 30Hz is a pain. Mostly if the monitor is VGA with an USB yo VGA adapter.

My second monitor that can only do 60hz is set to 72hz. I couldn't squeeze out any more. My main one was set correctly, because when I got this laptop, the first thing I did was go through everything. But it's definitely noticeable if you compare 60hz to 144hz. Probably with higher refresh rates as well, but I don't have any experience with those.

Sometimes I pick it up instead of my current s22u (120 hz OLED). On the very first swipe or scroll it feels like the phone is breaking down. I also have a 65 inch LG OLED and sometimes my friends bring their laptops over to watch movies they have downloaded. Even my technically illiterate non gamer friends can tell that the "settings" are wrong when the laptop is set to output at 60hz when scrolling or windows are dragged around.

@TStodden Ай бұрын

One of the few frustrations I've actively avoided on my laptop... but it was through a different setting. My laptop has a GPU mode setting, it locked it to the highest refresh settings when selecting "Ultimate". If I dropped it down to Standard or Optimized, it would likely drop the refresh rate to 60 Hz (vs 165 Hz) & using the processor's APU when the GPU isn't needed to boost battery life. If I switch it to Eco Mode, it would lock the refresh rate to 60 Hz while it disables the GPU. If you know your desktop / laptop display does support higher refresh rates, but cannot see it might want to check your power settings (or Power & Battery in Windows 11) about it. I must note that Windows 11 is SUGGESTING 60 Hz as a power-saving measure, so you'll likely want to dig into your settings for such performance boosts.

i found this out pretty quickly after getting a new monitor, without being informed. the old monitor i was using was 60hz, and in a game i play there were constant visual issues with the frames when the camera moved around (turning on vsync helped this, but the input delay was a little unbearable). so i bought a new 144hz monitor, and realized it was doing the exact same thing. so within a day or 2, i realized, and quickly changed it. not surprised it took people this long. they really have to make it more obvious.

The refresh rate doesn't change, since there are some programs/games that need a refresh rate or make other problems. Also, it doesn't change automatically due production recording or such may be affected with the recording or actual cameras recording said monitor need 60Hz or 50Hz, so it doesn't flimmer and such.

A 'fun' thing that happened recently to a friend of mine I was helping with purchasing and running a laptop for work and gaming, we got a modest one with supposedly a 144hz capable monitor as advertised in the website description. Knowing about the refresh rate setting from previous builds and messing around with a 72hz monitor running at 60hz by default, this was one of the first few things I checked when helping out my friend. The monitor turned out to be only capable of 60hz refresh rate. Bummer! The product description was wrong I believe but how many people bought it thinking they were 144hz and they're only 60hz and they haven't noticed 🤷‍♂

@aeghohloechu5022 Ай бұрын

you should check the driver settings if something like that happens. On fresh installs in my experience it will default to 60 simply because it's got no drivers and is effectively software rendering.

It's probably a failsafe thing. If the monitor is misreporting its maximum refreshrate for some reason, it's best to start at 60 Hz and then let the user change it if they want a higher refreshrate. That way new users won't get locked out of the desktop due to an incompatible refreshrate. I've also found that in order to get higher than 60 Hz when using Nvidia DLDSR, it's sometimes necessary to remove the other refreshrates using CRU.
