LCD refresh rate

I just got my first Mac, so far I'm loving it. I have a 20.1" Viewsonic vx2025 with a horizontal sync range of 30-82 KHz and a vertical refresh range of 50-75 Hz. The Mini correctly set the right native resolution of 1680x1050, but the refresh rate is set to 60, with no other rates available.
I've had a similar struggle with LCDs on Linux (won't go over 60 Hz) and was told that Linux won't do over 60 Hz because that's what LCDs should refresh at. So I wanted to check if Tiger is the same.

If I'm using the term Refresh Rate incorrectly it's because Apple, GNOME/KDE, and Microsoft are all using it incorrectly. If a dialog window to configure my display settings calls a field "Refresh Rate" (and all 4 of them do call it just that) than that's what I call it too.

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!

3) If you do not specify a restricted list of modelines, I'm pretty sure all of them will be read from the EDID. I have only one modeline appearing in the output of xrandr and only one appearing in the XFCE display dialog. I do this in the "Display" SubSections where you list all the bit depths.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"

SubSection "Display"

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.

when trying manually added mode, as I already wrote.

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:

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.

Quicktime Video on an LCD Projector Problems & Refresh Rate?

I'm having an issue and don't have a lot of experience with this but hopefully someone has some insight.
When i play back video (formats including DV, DV50, HDV, PRORES422 / interlaced or progressive / frame rates of 23.98 or 29.97) in full screen using Quicktime Player (version 7.4.5) and Present (Shift CMD F) to a projector, the video plays and looks good, with the exception of during certain portions of the video (generally, with a lot of motion), i see either a flicker or what appears to be a scan line, tear, or a trace that scrolls vertically up the image. The flickering/trace is consistent with regard to a particular portion of the video, though when i adjust the refresh rate for the projector, the behavior of the flicker or scrolling trace changes (say at 60hz, it scrolls slowly up vs 85hz where i see mostly flickering/tearing of the image or multiple traces scrolling up). I've tried 3 different projectors, and every combination of screen resolution and refresh rate with no success.
I should point out that when i play these videos full screen on a cinema display (20in or 23in) i don't see this behavior at all.
So, i have a few specific questions:
1. Is anyone familiar with this behavior and any solutions?
2. The projector is connected with a VGA cable and DVI adapter. Might a DVI cable resolve the issue? Is the behavior a result of the analog input? (The cinema displays are connected via DVI and don't exhibit the behavior)
3. If it is a projector issue, any recommendations on a good projector for presenting video played back from a computer?
Thanks in advance for your help. If i've posted in the incorrect forum, please do direct me to the right place.

Just a fast reply... something to think about...
Use 60hz, most lcd are 60hz. Check you resolution specs for the projector. If the native resolution is 800x600 use that setting if higher use that.....
If your using the lcd as a secondary display try setting the main display to the same specs. Sometime a mismatch between the two displays can cause problems.
Go with the lcd spec settings that's the main priority and the main display isn't.

Increase refresh rate of my LCD display

Hey hey hey. How can I increase the refresh rate available for my LCD display? Should I increase the refresh rate? I cannnot find where to change it.

There are different refresh rates that you can set, but I agree, 60 should be adquate. You can check this under Control Panel, Display, Settings, Then Click on Advanced, then Monitor. There you will see the refresh rate. Unclick the "Hide modes..." and you will see other rates which may not be able to be applied to your machine.

Altering refresh rates

Howdy folks!
I've got an 800mhz emac. The CRT is shot. I am able to use the external monitor plug. I had (have) an external Mac monitor but it is as big as the emac and I am running out of desk space. I bought a 15" Gateway LCD off a craigslister to park in front of the emac chassis. I got the message the the input was out of range for the monitor. I reconnected the mac monitor and tried to reset the refresh rate. There were other rates listed but they were greyed out and not accesible. After lots of reading on this board I found a link to an application called SwitchResX which allowed me to make the changes I need and the LCD is working now.
Here's the rub: SwitchResX is a 10 day limited shareware product. It costs $18.50 (or thereabouts) to register it. I will pay it in the end if I can't find relief elsewhere but I feel like I ought to be able to accomplish a change in video refresh rates without having to shell out $$ to a third party.
Anyone know of a more straightforwad, less costly way to achieve DIY video adjustments?
TIA!

Bump for last minute plea before paying ....

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...

Changing refresh rate blanks screen indefinitely

Hi all,
I'm new to the mac world and I was exploring OSX upon bringing my new Mac Pro home.
I have an old 17" Benq LCD monitor (upgrading soon) that I had hooked up using the analog to DVI adapter. I've heard that LCD's usually always are set at 60Hz but stupid me had to try other refresh rates. I set the refresh rate to 80Hz and the screen went blank and a box came up stating the refresh rate was "out of range".
I thought that it would automatically revert a la XP but after 5 minutes nothing. So in the meantime I just swapped to a different video output on the video card.
Could someone please tell me how I can revert the refresh rate to 60Hz so that DVI output can be utilized.
Thanks for reading!
Cheerz,

Use the "Gather Windows" button in the "Display" pane of "Displays" System Preference. You can change setting for both displays from one display. You can also check "Show displays in menu bar" to get control of both displays.
Resetting PRAM, or a Safe Boot might help.

Can't change Refresh Rate

To try to get my new Samsung LN-R268W monitor to show what's on the screen of my Power Book G4 (OS 10.4.5), the lady at Samsung Customer Support said I need to make sure my Refresh Rate is 60 hertz. System Preferences>Displays>Color LCD>Display had the Refresh Rate showing a greyed-out "n/a." Advice?

Is this before or after you've got the image on your
Samsung? If it's before you've connected it, or used
the F7 key to toggle to mirror/span mode, the only
display you'll see under System Preferences is the
built in display. And the refresh rate for that will
be "n/a".
Most monitors will be auto-detected by OS X, and the
refresh rate will be set without any input. My 20"
widescreen Dell LCD automagically defaults to 60Hz.
At any rate, refresh rates for LCDs are kind of
meaningless - they don't actually refresh like old
CRT monitors do.

You're right. Today I learned from talking to somebody that I should turn on my monitor before I turn on my laptop. Page 53 of the Apple manual "Getting Started With Your Powerbook G4" suggested the opposite. However, if I had read page 53 and its reference to page 97 more carefully, I would have checked the "mirroring" box.

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…

Refresh rate

How do you change the refresh rate on an apple monitors?
I went into the system preferences under displays the refresh rate button was there but not lit up.
I need to see what my refresh rate is and how to change it.

60 Hz is the standard for LCDs and can't be changed.

Questions
1) Accelerated Graphics Port - there is enabled if yes that that it is necessary to make that it became accessible.
2) whether Frequency of hertz with 60 can be raised even up to 75.

Hi
I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz.
The display refresh rate is not important on the notebook screens.
TFT matrix doesn't have such thing as refresh rate. It doesn't blink.
TFT like all other LCD screens doesn't have refresh rate parameter, only reaction time.
Your eyes are safe ;)
Ps: As far as I know the AGP port is not available.

MacBook Pro Screen Refresh Rate

I got one of the new santa rosa 15-inch macbook pros with a glossy display about 3 weeks ago. When i play games or look at display settings, i can't change the screen refresh rate. For example, in battlefield 1942, in the display settings i get a rate of "0"for my built in display! Not "60", or "75", just "0". Also, in the display preferences tab in system preferences, there in no refresh rate to set, but all other displays i connect have a refresh rate setting. How to i change the refresh rate of my built in display?

as far as i'm aware, LCD displays do not have a refresh rate per-se
the reason is because refresh rate is a term applied to Cathode Ray Tube monitors (read that as your standard computer monitor, not an LCD one) and in particular the refresh rate is how many times the gun in the monitor rasters a horizontal line onto the screen in one second.
with LCD displays, because they don't use a gun and are not based on CRT technology, they don't have a refresh rate
i could be wrong though, but i'm sure i read somewhere about this

27" iMac Monitor "refresh rate"

Hello!
I'm considering buying a 27" iMac but there's 1 more thing that I need to know before doing so.
Before you go ahead and tell me that refresh rates on a CRT and LCD monitor are not the same: I'm aware of that. LCD screens still have a similar thing, though, refreshing the entire image. Let's call it fps as I've no clue to what it's actually called.
Since it'll be used, mostly, for FPS games I want a screen who's able to pull off at least 100fps (like 100Hz in the old days) at various lower resolutions. Do you know if the iMac's screen able to do this, and if you do, do you know the various rates for different resolutions?

Is it less than two weeks old? Check if your store has a replacement policy?
Is it less than a year old? Check with the local authorized service centers if you feel you have done nothing that could have possibly damaged the machine, as this would be a hardware issue.
Is it under AppleCare? Same thing.
If it isn't expect to pay more than just adding an external display. If you are in the U.S. http://www.dttservice.com/ is a good company to check out for under non-AppleCare replacement costs. Mid-2011 should still be under AppleCare unless you bought it really early on. May 3rd was when it came out in the stores, so you probably are still under the 1 year coverage, but better hurry, unless you registered it with Apple early. At minimum buy AppleCare so you are covered for an additional 2 years if you haven't already, since it is showing signs of possible wear not normal to be seen.
