59Hz Refresh Rate

[lasgas75]

Hello w7forums

Upon installing Windows 7 Beta 1 I had problems with my LCD monitor being out of range on its highest resolution, and after repeated trying suggestions on the web I couldnt fix this.

It's 2 months later and I have just been using Windows 7 at a lower resolution, but I would like to go back to what I know my monitor can support. It seems that it should be 60Hz at my highest resolution (from Vista) and not 59Hz like Windows 7 says.

Is there a way round this problem?

This is quite a common problem, but you don't say which type of graphics card you use? With the new beta nVidia drivers for Windows 7 you can force it to use the 60Hz refresh rate:

Go to the nVidia control panel > Display > Manage Custom Resolutions > Create

Then enter your custom settings, you can then force it to 60Hz.

Well it only seems like he need the correct graphic card driver, once he installs that he wont have to force the refresh rate..
