Wirh my Compaq Evo 1015V laptop screen on its way out, I bought an Acer V173 monitor to use with it. But the native 60Hz refresh rate does contribute to headaches for me and I would like to increase it by unticking the "Hide Modes that this monitor cannot display box." What worries me is the underwritten note that suggests that thses increased rates may lead to an unusable display or damaged hardware. I assume they mean damage to the display and not the computer itself. But is this an unnecessary worry if I set the rate to what is native to the external display itself? Advice please. Something like 75 Hz would probably do no end of good for my headaches.

Jump to PostHave a good Google of your monitor's make and model and see if you can find either information about supported refresh rates or a driver for it.
Jump to PostYou should be fine going up to a maximum of 75hz then. But try 72 first.
