Hi, just got my new LGW2363D, how do i set this monitor to glorious 120hz?

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 17:07

anyone?

As simple as this if its an Nividia card.

Yep

and while your at it set the sharpness to 3 which is easily the best one and also enable "thru mode" on that first setting.

Still due to do my review

Brightness down to 70 too imo.

After these are done its fantastic.

Still due my review

should have probably told you its a 6950, in catalyst it only goes as high as 60hz, i cant find any other way to increase it.

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 18:32

also Thru mode is awsome

loving this monitor

It will only show the supported resolution and refresh rate for the screen in use.

So is the monitor detected correctly? are there any drivers for it?

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 19:30

yes its detected correctly i think, and drivers are up to date. Thanks for your time btw.

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 19:31

just reinstalled drivers to be sure, still only 60hz in catalyst

Have you actually installed the monitor driver from here.

If you haven't then Windows won't know what display modes the monitor supports.

Also, are you using a DVI Dual Link cable? I believe it is supplied with one but I know of lazy people who just use their existing 'normal' DVI cable as it's already plugged into the PC.

Nice thought there.

OP you need a dual link cable as shown here:

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:20

im using the cable that came with the monitor. using a dual link but one of the pins in the middle is shorter than the rest, not sure if this is standard or.. getting the lg stuff,havent installed "those" drivers.

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:37

the "driver" im downloading is a zip file with this inside, no exe, no sure if doing it right.

Used a thumbnail as the picure is far too big.

Just right click on your monitor in Device Manager and select update driver.

Follow the process through to browse your computer for drivers and point it at the folder with the files you've just downloaded.

Select the driver and install it.

stulid · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:44

Try going into device manager, click on the monitor bit and updating the driver manually, pointing to where this new driver is located.

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:49

yeh thats what ive done, uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, still no avail.

Surveyor · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:51

So if you right click on the desktop, select screen resolution, click on advanced settings and click on the monitor tab, you don't have 120Hz as a refresh rate option?

Edit:

Have you restarted the PC since installing the driver?

WeltMaster · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:56

here. tryed to kill 2 birds with one stone, not sure if right res of pic.
