Gx620 HDMI higher refresh rates

Hello,
I've bought a Samsung SyncMaster 2233rz to get a lower inputlag and higher refresh rates. GeForce 9600m GT doesn't have a DVI-D port, thus I'm using the HDMI port with a DVI-D adapter as the monitor only has a DVI-D port. I've read you couldn't get a higher than 60hz signal from the graphics card through HDMI for some reason (..it being a mobile card). I'd imagine it has something to do with the bandwidth, but so far I've managed to get atleast 1680x1050 @ 75hz. It stutters sometimes, but quite rarely.
The refresh rate options are very limited as I use Windows 7, which reads the EDID-information from the display. Nvidia control panel registers the connectors as HDMI - HDTV. I've tried editing the EDID-informations and use powerstrip and such programs to get a higher refresh rate, but so far I'm stuck at 75hz. I wouldn't mind lowering the resolution to get atleast 100hz refresh rate, but so far I've had no luck with it. Have any of you managed to get a 100hz refresh rate from gx620 (through the vga-port perhaps)?

Refresh rate is actually a term for analog CRT monitors, not digital monitors.
Hello,
I know how it works on LCD's. That wasn't the question, thanks though.

Max refresh rate Macbook PRO -- LG TV

Hello,
I am connecting my LG LN5700 TV with a max refresh rate of 120 Hz to my Macbook Pro via HDMI using the cables listed below. However, the display settings on connection only show option for frequency upto 60 Hz (and mentions NTSC in paranthesis). Any ideas why I am not able to access the max refresh rate ? The HDMI cable claims to support higher refresh rates. Could the mac_disp --> HDMI be the bottleneck ?

Not that I know of... for display on my LG TV, I used to use a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter. But I ran it through the HDMI on my Denon reciever and then to my LG TV. If you've an extra HDMI port on your LG, you could use the same adapter -> 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.

Low refresh rate

I have problems with my display, Benq g2225hda -- its refresh rate is 60Hz, although it should be more.
This is the part of xorg.conf, generated by nvidia-xconfig:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0
VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
With empty xorg.conf, the rate is the same.
I'm not sure what to do. Please, help me and my eyes! :-)

its refresh rate is 60Hz, although it should be more.
Are you sure it should be more?
In the monitor page on BenQ site there is no mention of higher refresh rate.
Is the monitor resolution right? Have you checked in the monitor OSD?
With empty xorg.conf, the rate is the same.
*Without* xorg.conf and only with the bundled 10-evdev.conf and 10-quirks.conf files in /etc/xorg.conf.d the problem persist?
Is the command "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" launched when you log in your user session? If so try removing it.

GeForce2 GTS refresh rate problem

I have a GeForce2 GTS (MSI Starforce 815) running on an IWill KK266 (KT133A chipset) and a Sony GDM-400PS monitor. My problem is that when I set the refresh rate to "optimal" it runs at 60hz. This is a problem because my eyes are really sensitive to the flicker. I can set the refresh manually to a higher static refresh rate, and I can then switch back to "optimal" and it will adjust properly to a higher refresh rate but upon reboot it converts back to 60hz (although setting still says optimal.) I have several other non MSI GeForce2 GTS cards and they don't have this problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
To help weed out the suggestions:
-running 350W Enermax PS, more then enough
-running Win98SE (don't tell me to switch operating systems please)
-Sony 400PS well within spec
-have run 3 sets of Detonator drivers currently 40.72 same problem with all
-I know I can set it to run at a static 75 or 85Hz but I prefer to have it adjust to the optimal setting for my usage.
Thanks for any help!

beavercleaver,
I always set the monitors at 85hz. It is a great frame rate that is really easy on the eyes.
Take Care,
Richard

Refresh Rate in X Windows (SOLVED)

I set up an xorg.conf and it recognizes the attached monitor, but it displays with a refresh rate of 60. I would like the refresh rate of 76. In the radeon driver's output, it states that it recognizes the monitor can handle 1280x1024 at 76. Does anyone know what I need to change so I can get the higher refresh rate?
I am guessing that this is the reason for the poor display quality.

I do have DDC. It correctly recognizes the monitor. The problem is that the monitor operates both at 60 Hz and 76 Hz. I'm guessing the low-quality image is due to the fact that it is running at 60 Hz.

W540 - Get 75Mz Refresh rates on 3k screen?

The W540 with a K2100 and a 3k screen has a maximum refresh rate of 60Mz. It is not currently possible to lower the screen resolution and get a higher refresh rate of 75 or higher.
If I got to Screen Resolution > Monitor Properties > Display All Modes, they are all 60Mz even when the screen is tiny. Intel's advance feature to create a custom resolution is also disabled.
I've tried some Custom Resolution softwares, but it just made my system crash.
Are there ways around this or potential software updates that could change this?

I don't think there are any mainstream 75Hz LCDs; just a boatload of 60Hz LCDs and a small percentage of 120Hz ones.
You can't "unlock" 75Hz on an LCD that doesn't support driving it that fast, unlike CRTs, where the bottleneck was available bandwidth.

Refresh rate for a new LED TV...

Hey guys,
It's been a few years, and it's time to upgrade my TV.
A few questions on the refresh rate. Aside from watching movies, I like to play games (on PS4, when I can buy it), and watching primarily sports.
So, in essence, I'm assuming I'd be one who would notice a higher refresh rate? Is there a noticeable difference from 60hz, to 120hz, to 240hz?
Thanks!

Some thoughts...
how much is calibration? how much is that TV?
some say TV's should be calibrated again after 6 months of usage where the TV has had some break-in. How much is that second calibration???
some say they just run on theatre or cinema mode to save costs
some say they don't like the calibration and flip back to the normal, bright or vivid mode. Personally I hate to see the highlights punched out and looseing detail for the brightness
some purchase Spyder or XRite calibration tools
some will use Apps to do their own calibration (note you need a cable or a wireless box), however you don't want someone who is colorblind making those calibration decisions (like me)

When shopping for a TV I visited several retailers. For the stores who calibrated their displays.... I had a tough time deciding which one to get because they were ALL good. I could not tell which one was LCD, LED, or Plasma. Yes calibration is worth it, but how much do you want to spend?

Max refresh rates

Hi,
I own a MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 VTD and as I will soon get 3D glasses, I need to get the highest refresh rates it can give. My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 900 NF and it can handles 160Hz at 800x600 or 132Hz at 1024x768 (these are the 2 resolutions I plan to use).
Unfortunately reading the spec of my MSI Geforce 4, it seems that it cannot handle the same refresh rates At 800x600, it can handle 150Hz and at 1024x768 it can do 120Hz. I know the difference is not so important but as I plan to tweak the settings to their max (and it is really required for 3D stereovision), I need to know the exact max capabilities of the card.
What seem strange to me is that other Geforce 4 Ti4200 based card (such as the Asus) have MUCH higher refresh rate capabilities and can display at 200-240Hz at those resolution!!!!!!!!! And this is for the exact same chipset so I find this a little disturbing.
Do you know if the refresh rates indicated on the MSI manual (and on their website) really are the maximum refresh rates or only recommended refresh rates for any resolution? I cannot believe the MSI GF 4 Ti4200 can "only" do 120Hz at 1024x768........................
Will I damage the card if I go above these settings (f.ex use 160Hz at 800x600 rather then the "max" written 150Hz of the card)????
Many thanks

From Apples own technical documents.

OS 10.3.9 defaults to a refresh rate that is too high for my monitor.

Hello experts!
I bought a great little NOVA 15" LCD VGA monitor which I love since it has a TV tuner built-in. It is capable of 1024 * 768 @ 56 to 75 Hz. Unfortunately, from start-up Panther uses a default of 85 Hz whenever this monitor is the only one attached, and nothing gets displayed.
I can leave the Mac on and swap VGA out to my old Apple 15" Multi-scan and the desktop is there. Now that I can see what I'm doing, I can change the refresh rate from 85 Hz to 75 or 70 or 60 Hz. Still leaving the Mac on and switching the VGA output back to the NOVA LCD results in a normally displayed picture at any of the 3 lower refresh rates. But if I open Display Preferences and press the Detect Displays button, the desktop disappears and the NOVA monitor indicates "no signal." As you may have guessed, Panther is trying to give it 85 Hz again.
The monitor is DDC 1/2b compatible, and the ATI 9200 is DDC 2a/b compatible, so they should be sending the right info to each-other.
What I would like is for someone to tell me how to make the Finder change the Monitor settings to 1024 * 768 @ 70 Hz in a way that can be assigned to a Function key (say F5). That way, when the Mac has finished starting-up, I can just press F5, and even though the screen is blank the Finder will run a little program to change the monitor settings and, voila, I will have a working display.
I have looked into Apple Script, but it seems to have no control over this sort of function (unless I have missed something).
Many thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

Problems getting a higher framebuffer refresh rate

Hello everyone just changed from Gentoo to Arch
Anyway here is my problem, I usually use a framebuffer resolution of 1280x1024-32@75. I used to use a Nvidia BFG Geforce Ti4200SE 128MB and it had no problem of booting into the above resolution. I recently upgraded to a Nvidia Chaintech Geforce 6600 GT 128MB AGP and since then the refresh rate stays at 60 regardless of the resolution (tried 1024x768). In Xorg the refresh rate does change to 75.
Solutions I have tried are:
Patching my kernel with the vesafb-tng patch and setting my resolution and refresh rate in the kernel, but that didn't work.

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?

IPad Air display refresh rate for full screen movies?

What exactly happens if I play a movie on the iPad full screen with a rate of e.g. 24p, 25p or 50i?
The stated maximal refresh rate is 60Hz.
Will this rate be reduced when playing movies?
Or will frames be dropped / interpolated if the frame rate and the refresh rate don't match?
Or will the movie be sped up / slowed down?
When using the HDMI adapter, I can see that it always outputs 60p, regardless of the movie frame rate. But maybe this is different on the internal panel.
Thanks for any insight!

Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

Xorg and refresh rates

I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:

# EndSectionIf I use the Xsun server, everything works great. I get 1024x768 at 85Hz. With Xorg, I get 1024x768 at 60Hz. Why won't Xorg drive the display at a decent refresh rate?
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.
