Does my TFTs refresh rate matter?

Hello everyone!
I've been an Arch Linux user for a few hours now and have got it running quite nicely. I love Arch   I've configured my soundcard and installed GNOME. All works fine, however I can't change the refresh rate of my screen which is set to 50 herz.
I've got a Hanns G HW191D which is a TFT screen. So here's my question:
Is 50 herz enough (Someone told me the refresh rate doesn't matter if you have a TFT screen) or should I find a way of increasing it?
Thanks a lot in advance,
chell

I just configured KDE on my arch system and The only two options I have are 50 and 55 hz.
It's an X bug, causing to display wrong Hz in applications (like kcontrol, or gnome's setting dialog). Try to look at your monitor's OSD menu for "display info" or similiar. There u'll find the correct Hz that is used. Mine e.g. is running at 75 Hz, which is also the preferred for it, but configuring it by a GUI always shows 50Hz.

So true.. I always check my monitor's OSD menu to check the refresh rates (be it CRT or LCD).  Why let the software tell you when the monitor knows for sure

  • Monitor refresh rates and Open Firmware

    Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default monitor refresh rate of an iMac in Open Firmware and how?
    Thanks.

    Thanks but I think the iMac G5 does have a refresh rate or something analogous to one, in this case I believe it is 60 hertz. I want to know how to change it in firmware because I believe it will solve an issue my display suffers from. See here:

  • HT202856 What resolutions and refresh rates does the MacBook Pro support?

    Why does this article provide lots of useful information EXCEPT the piece I want?  It does not show what resolutions and refresh rates the MacBook Pro supports over Displayport:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    I've heard it only supports 4k at 30 Hz.  Is this true?

    For some reason Displays no longer shows that information, so I don't know what it is. However, the last time I saw the information on a 2009 MBP it was 75.
    I'd think there is a utility around that might provide the info like Display Maestro 1.1.7 or SwitchResX.

  • What refresh rates does the Macbook Pro 2011 support? (Internal Display)

    While I know you used to be able to change the refresh rate via General Settings, now you have to use an app or probably something terminal related.
    Ignoring this, I just got a new 2011 MBP when my old one couldn't be fixed and after having the display/resolution upgraded I noticed that, when scrolling webpages, there is a bit of... I dunno, ghosting or something? Nothing that indicates there is a problem with the display or card, but it's something that could probably be fixed by a stronger refresh rate.
    So my question is as the subject states. What is supported? I read 60 and 75 is typical for Apple, but I want confirmation. Remember, internal display, not external.
    Thanks!

  • Does KDL60R510A have 60hz or 120hz refresh rate?

    Hi everyone!  This TV is in the Black Friday ad on page 5 - SKU 8548083.  The Best Buy website, as well as a competing retailer, list this TV at 120hz refresh rate.  Sony's website along with a separate competing retailer list at just 60hz.  I'm looking for a new TV this holiday season but I need clarification on this before I can make a decision.  Anyone have additional info on that??  Thanks!

    I know those advertisements are inconsistent and confusing. The TV has a "Native" refresh rate of 60hz as most TV's sold in america do. That set has the "Motionflow™ Technology : Motionflow XR 240" which quadruples the refresh rate internally to 240hz. So the answer to your question is that it has a 240hz refresh rate.

  • Judder using Mplayer... maybe force different resolution/refresh rate?

    Hi!
    (I posted this in the newbie section too, but this is maybe the most appropriate place??)
    I've set up my computer as a media center using Freevo. As the main media player in Freevo I use Mplayer. The setup is working beautifully, but I'm getting some judder and it's a bit annoying. It's most noticable during bright, fast moving scenes.
    So I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this, but it's harder than I thought. My setup is the following:
    AMD 4200+ dual core, 2 gigs ram, Nvidia 7800GTX, 24" LCD and Pioneer LX508D plasma TV, and I'm using CoreAVC as decoder (amazing piece of software )
    When I bought the 24" screen for my computer the sales guy (using windows) forced the resolution to 1920x1080. It looked a bit stretched, but if I could do this in Linux I'd avoid having parts of the picture missing on my TV. Now I have to use 1920x1200 resolution as main X session and since my TV is 1920x1080 parts of the desktop is out of view on my TV. This isn't too big of a deal though cause when playing movies they come out in 1920x1080. It'd be nice though to get the correct aspect ratio between my pc screen and my TV (I've been trying to use Twinview and clone, but it's impossible to use 1920x1200 on the 24" and 1920x1080 on the TV at the same time). I've tried to force my pc screen to use 1920x1080 (since it worked in windows it's supposed to be possible), but when I enable it through xorg.conf the screen goes blank. Using nvidia-settings doesn't give me the option of using 1920x1080 on the 24" at all.
    So what I'm hoping to be able to do is to force the computer screen to use 1920x1080 and a refresh rate of 72Hz. This should eliminate alot of the judder and at the same time I won't have to use the "PC mode" on my TV (PC mode restrict the Hz to max 60Hz). Hopefully the TV will accept the 1920x1080 72Hz as any input and let me use the normal input (and then be able to use 72Hz... or 96Hz for that matter).
    Anyone know how I might be able to do that? I'd really appreciate any help at all since this is the only thing that's not perfect with my setup.

    Ok, I tried to change the xorg.conf file to 72Hz on the TV and it when black again. This is what the xorg.0.log shows:

    I read somewhere that the TV is supposed to be able to show 1080p in 72Hz. But when I try that it goes blank. Maybe it has something to do with the monitor being 1920x1200 and the TV 1920x1080. The monitor won't accept 1920x1080 as resolution so I guess that can only be done in Windows...

  • Macs Won't Forget Refresh Rate - LCD Refresh Out of Range

    I have a new Viewsonic LCD for an old G4. I had to use an ADC to DVI adapter.
    The first time I booted up my Mac, the monitor worked fine. I went into the Display Preferences and, like an idiot, I selected 90 hz because, like an idiot, I thought 90 hz was better than 60 hz.
    My screen went black and the monitor said "Frequency out of range", etc. I have talked to AppleCare and I have tried everything and nothing I do gets this Mac to revert to 60 hz at 1280 x 1024.
    Tried zapping PRAM, didn't work.
    Tried booting into Safe Mode and selecting another resolution. I do that, reboot, it reboots in that lower resolution. I select 1280 x 1024 and my screen goes black because it's going into that 90 hz.
    Created another account, didn't work.
    I plugged in my old CRT into the VGA port. I was able to select 1280 x 1024 at 60 hz. Turned off the Mac. Plugged in the LCD. Turned the Mac back on and it went black.
    It does this when you log in. The actual bootup is in 1280 x 1024 60 hz. I get the login screen fine. It's when I log in, into any account, it goes back to that 90 hz mode.
    In Windows, if you select a resolution or refresh rate, a dialog comes up asking you if this mode is OK and if after 15 seconds you don't click on anything, it reverts back to the original resolution. Apple doesn't want to do that, I guess, because they want me to use their monitors.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    You should probably just trash the preferences file(s). That will give you a fresh start with the Viewsonic. See this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3308488&#3308488

  • Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

    I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
    The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?
    Cheers

  • How Can I change my refresh rate to 75hz for on LCD using 91.47 drivers?

    HI,
    I use a 19" LCD and have always changed my refresh rate to 75hz to avoid ghosting in games like fifa 06 (60hz causes a nasty ghost on my 8ms panel).  I have been using the 81.98 drivers and could create an override to use 75.   The new driver will allow me to change the refresh rate to 75, but will not let me use it - I get the message "The custom resolution cannot be added".   I have coolbits2 installed.  Is there a registry setting that I can add to allow me to change the refresh rate?  If not, I'll just go back to the 81.98.  I am also using the DVI connection.
    Thank you,
    * This is on my Sli PC in my sig. *

    I know that on my particular LCD monitor, if I go above the recommended rates, then the screen will just go black and won't let me see anything.  Usually it displays a message telling me that it cannot display.  I think it especially does this with the DVI connection.
    You may have tried it allready, but just make sure that in your display properties you have unchecked the option to only display resolutions allowed by the monitor.
    You may also want to try and see if it will let you do it with a VGA connection instead of the DVI.
    Otherwise, you just may have to go back to the earlier driver.

  • Xorg and refresh rates

    Thanks.

    I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
    First, I found this line:
    (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
    Later on, I found these:
    (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
    (II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
    (WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
    Trying standard mode instead!
    Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
    This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
    Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

  • External Monitor refresh rate conflict

    I've got the PB 12" and for a longtime have been using a 17" Soyo monitor with the computer closed and Bluetooth devices. It's a great setup. Now one time disconnected it to take the powerbook, and now I can't run it with just the 17" monitor. I don't want two screens, and I don't want a 12" screen. However, every time I now try to close and wake up the computer, it says the there is a problem with the resolution and the refresh rate, it says it's "Out of Range". Now I figure it's because the computer is trying to send signals to my external monitor just like it was my Powerbook, but my screen can't show them because it has different specs than the powerbook monitor. Please help, if you need more information, please ask.

    you have a CRT projector? If it is a 16:9 projector it doesn't really matter if the refresh rate is at 75 or 85 hz. 
    I know the x200 can do at least 75 hz at 720p, not sure if it can do any higher.

  • T61P LCD Refresh Rate keeps resetting to 60 Hz - Also Brightness maxes out

    I tried saving a power profile for the resolution, etc., but maybe I didn't know how to save it properly, so whenever just about anything significant happens to my T61P  (logout, restart, change something about the video) it ends up reverting to 60 Hz and since I'm using a Philips 19" CRT second display, the 60 Hz refresh rate just doesn't cut it for my eyes.
    Speaking of my eyes, the notebook display also reverts to max. brightness frequently, which is annoying.
    Does someone know how I can get the rate to lock on 85 Hz and permanently retain the settings I put in for the power profile? I Just reinstalled the Thinkpad Power Manager but honestly I still need to reboot and see if it's better before I make too much of it here. Thanks!

    I never restricted anything, the modes are simply not there in the EDID. Call it manufacturers safety, I call it manucafturers dumbness. Anyway, what I like is full list of modes from 640x480 to maximum supported with every single refresh rate mode which wont kill my eyes (85+ Hz). Usually the highest modes aren't there even if the display supports them. Missing refresh rate modes are the most typical flaw here.

  • PowerMac G4 533DA & HDTV - video resolution / refresh rate problem

    Hope someone can help, I need to access more resolution / refresh rates than I currently get in the Leopard display control:
    I have a PowerMac G4 533 Digital Audio running Leopard 10.5.8 (unsupported).  It has an upgraded AGP videocard, a ( flashed PC - RV200 chipset) Radeon 7500 w/ 64MB and a DVI output w/ a VGA adapter.  I have used this Mac perfectly with my 19" widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 940BW, at a resolution of 1440 x 900 / 60Hz / millions of colors.  This monitor is actually for my MacPro, but I used it for the G4 to set it up.
    I  moved it to my living room to use as a basic HTPC.  Since it runs Leopard, it has up to date VLC, Quicktime for video files and a working Superdrive for movies.  I don't expect it to play anything more than 480p properly, I think that was the best I got on YouTube.  But if I have a DVD ripped to DivX or MP4 it plays them fine on the Samsung monitor.
    I connected it to my Viewsonic N3760w 37" 1080 HDTV.  It turns on, gray screen w/ Apple and gives me a working desktop.  The problem is that I cannot get it to give me the correct resolution and more importantly it seem to have the wrong refresh rate.  It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors.  The screen give me like a small line slowly moving up across screen, higher refresh rates only make it movie faster up the screen.
    According to my Viewsonic, these are the resolutions for computer using the VGA plug on the tv:
    PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
    Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
    Please note all of these are lower resolution than my Samsung monitor.  My Viewsonic also has on screen adjustment of " phase " and " frequency " as well as the usual color, contrast, etc available.  Is there a 3rd party app to manually adjust the resoluion and refresh rate?  I have seen Windows programs, does one exist for Mac OS X?
    TIA, sorry for the long post

    My Viewsonic also connected by VGA, no problem.
    I wish I knew more. I checked out the app you did a trial of. I noticed this statement on their web site:  Quote
    "After rebooting monitor stays blank
    For some reason your monitor does not accept the installed frequency. SWITCH IT OFF!"
    This is the type of statement that would 'worry me.' -- having the phrase: SWITCH IT OFF! all in caps seems to imply a possibility of damage...which I mentioned in my initial post. (and the site goes on to talk about how you should even then connect another monitor to change the settings you've made that were not accepted).
    As I said, though, I wish I knew more for sure about this. It seems that you not only did the obvious of checking System Peferences>Display, but also realize the Viewsonic has buttons that can influence it's screen image, most about position of the image on the screen but at least one item about resolution on mine. (under Setup Mode)
    For what it's worth, my Viewsonic is about 6 years old now, still fine, and has eight (8) possible resolutions shown in System Preferences.
    Re: Your numbers.
    It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors. 
    PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
    Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
    If you're only talking about a difference of 1280 x 768 and G4 1280 x 1024, perhaps just stretching the picture using the Viewsonic buttons is the way to go.
    Or, from the numbers, perhaps the G4 just wants a resolution closest to it's preferred state!?
    Anyhow, good luck.

  • 24" iMac refresh rate

    I am having all those horrible problem with battlefield 2142 that everyone else is having, but i just found the file that has all the configurations for the game, such as the screen resolutions. My normal resolution is at 1920x1200, but the game resolution is stuck at 1024x800 @ 60hz. i tried to enter the larger resolutions including 1920x1200 but the game just crashes. SO thinking about it i think i have the wrong refresh rate. i went through system preferences and at the refresh rate says "n/a" as seen here....
    !http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1165/1427575277e25330d756o.jpg!
    i also checked system profiler... nothing....
    !http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/1428482292a9cb9b3555o.jpg!
    that being said does anyone know the refresh rates for the reolutions of the 24" iMac?
    the help would be greatly appreciated by many including myself x100....

    I suspect that 'refresh rate' is only applicable to CRT monitors: my flat-panel iMac has it greyed out as well.
    Not sure if the lack of refresh rate selection is normal for an iMac, but I can defnitely select the refresh for my 17" LCD monitor.
    It seems more likely that the game simply won't work at higher than 1024x800 - particularly as 1920x1200 is a widescreen format and the game very likely wants a 4x3 format. Try setting your monitor to 1024x768
    Some games will refuse to run at resolutions lower than 1024x768 or 800x600, but I've never heard of a game that would refuse to be set at a higher resolution…

  • Problem with ATV refresh rates and frame rates

    I live in Australia and as such I am subject to PAL, so when I set my ATV up I set it to 720P 50Hz, when I purchased a TV season the episodes were running at 25fps and played back flawlessly with no dropped or added frames. My problem occurs when I download movies, all the movies I have bought are running at 24fps and suffer from quite noticeable jitter, almost like the 24th frame is duplicated and added as the 25th frame, I assume it is something like this as the pause happens every second.
    So has anyone had a problem similar to this and if so what do you do about it?
    Does the ATV playback all sources (24/25) smoothly even if it has to convert?
    Could it be caused by my TV?
    Any help to any of these questions would be great.
    Thanks.
    Tim.

    With my particular Apple TV setup and TV combination, I find that setting to 1080p (60hZ) gives my the best all-round round results.
    This does result in -slightly- jerky motion with 25fps material (especially old British TV shows), but it's bearable. It's particularly noticeable with sideways scrolling text and credits.
    The one thing that is peculiar on my setup is if I use 720p (either @60hz or 50hz) and watch an iTunes-purchased HD episode that is encoded at 24fps I get very odd motion effects indeed. Every few seconds the video appears to speed up almost like it is 'catching up' with lost frames - very hard to explain exactly how it looks. Anyway I set to 1080p and this effect is gone completely. It also goes away if I set to 1080i. I think something queer is going on with 720p on the Apple TV (at least with my TV there is). This happens with both HDMI and component outputs.
    It may be worth trying 1080i at either 50 or 60Hz if your set can't do 1080p.
    I would also suggest that 60hz in theory should give a smoother motion for 24fps playback than 50Hz.
    My basic problem with all this is that on even a cheap DVD player if a disk is 50Hz, the player switches to 50Hz output and if it is 60Hz, it will change to 60Hz. The Apple TV stays fixed. It's a shame it can't autoswitch refresh rates.
