Refresh rate HP 850 G1 (Intel 4400)
Hi all, I have a HP 850 G1 laptop and in general I'm very happy with it. In the past I only had a slight issue with screen flickering at lower brightness settings, but setting the refresh rate to 40p hz resolved that issue. After updating to Windows 10, however, it was no longer possible to set the refresh rate to 40p hz. Since I hoped reverting back to Windows 8 would solve it, I performed a factory reset. I am currently using Windows 8 again but it's still not possible to switch to 40p hz, not even through the Intel Custom Mode App. The graphics report from the Intel graphics control panel confirms that the monitor supports the1920x1080x40p hz mode. Any help/suggestions to enable the 40p hz setting again is greatly appreciated! Driver Version: 10.18.14.4251

Hi
I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz. I have two of them. On Tecra M1 is fixed and on Satellite 1900 not. I have tested it and there is no difference if the refresh rate is changed.
The TFT technology is much better than on usual monitors where the display flickering is visible on lower refresh rate. On display you will not see any flickering. In my opinion there is no reason for panic.
Enjoy the life!!!

For some reason, when I go into properties and select the monitor tab so that I may change refresh rates, the window freezes, and it never displays options, and I have to kill it.
I'm running win2k and just updated to the latest drivers. If someone could help me out, please do, as my monitor is driving me NUTS.I had a similar problem. :O I fixed it by downloading the proper moniter driver from the manufacturers web site -- Windows usually just assigns a plug and play moniter driver for most monitors.
In my case, by downloading the Manufacturers driver I was also able to adjust my screen size from the ADVANCED settings tab which previously hadn't been an option.
Dont know if that will help.

# 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. -
Satellite M55-s3315: Screen refresh rate is 60 Hertz?!
I have bought Toshiba m55-s3315 analog m50-s.... with intel 910 built-in, shared dynamic 128 mb memory; screen - 14.0" WXGA widescreen display with Toshiba TruBrite . Only refresh rate i get is 60 Hertz. I have updated intel chip software and toshiba also ... I would like to know is it possible to get more than 60 Hertz. The only way is to get 85 Hertz is to add extarnal monitor. I there oportinity to get at least 75 Hertz screen refresh rate ??? It was possible with my old HP Pavilion ze 5000.
May be someone could explain me??
Thank in advance!!!Hi

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. -
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.

I'm not really sure if this is the right place for this post, so forgive me.
I am wondering why the refresh rate on my iMac (latest generation, Intel, 20in) says n/a for the refresh rate. I would very much like to know what the refresh rate is, and if thats impossible, why is it impossible?Ammendment to my previous post: the going out of focus is not a random thing at all . I've just noticed when it happens: it seems like my screen is cut into 4 halves depending on the mouse position...
Let me explain: when my mouse pointer is in the lower half of the screen, the image is all clear. When it goes to the upper half, the image goes slightly out of focus, mainly noticeable on text (very slight so that it's annoying, but one can still read it). That's for the "2 first halves".
Now when the pointer of the mouse is in the left half of the screen, the image shifts sideways by less than a millimeter. Not much, but noticeable enough to be annoying. And when the pointer is in the other half, it goes back to where it was initially.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Cheers,

X220 uncontrollably switches to 50Hz refresh rate upon unplug from power source
Hello,
I'd like to reiterate that I LOVE my x220 apart from the few issues I have with it. Having said that, I am having the (seemingly) ubiquitous problem where the laptop constantly switches to 50Hz when unplugged from a power source. I have tried reinstalling the Power Manager and Power Manager driver, and all of my system software is up to date.
Just to be certain, is everyone else experiencing this issue as well? I know T420s owners recently reported it and it was subsequently forwarded to engineering. As long as a fix is in the works I am happy. :-)

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hey erik,
I really do appreciate your input. That's a good idea, though honestly I don't know if I will bother with all of that now. :-) Perhaps instead if I get a moment in the near future I may try wiping out all Intel graphics drivers entirely from the system manually and then reinstalling.
Having said all of that, on a somewhat unrelated note, I'm getting 4,900+ in 3DMark06, which is shocking! After experiencing the trouble with the unplug/replug refresh rate switch, I tried a wide variety of solutions including using the 2361 graphics drivers from Intel's site. This plus my high-speed fan settings at anything over 60C probably helped contribute to the score I guess.
But back to the topic... is anyone else experiencing these same refresh rate switching issues?

Hi,
After I reinstalled my graphics driver, I have been noticing that my refresh rate keeps getting scaled down to 50Hz when I unplug my computer even though I have "Never" set in Power Manager. I am running the latest Intel GMA HD driver from Lenovo's website, and the latest version of Power Manager (3.20) on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Is there anything I can do in order to get it to stop changing the refresh rate?IIRC, the issue should've been fixed by now. Try updating to the latest drivers using System Update.

Poor display refresh rate during playback
When I say "display refresh rate" I'm talking about the various toolbars, level meter and the clock. I'm not talking about the time coding like in frames of a video clip vs. minutes/seconds/decimal but how fast those toolbars visually refresh their information. In Cool Edit Pro 2.1 they were real-time. Level meter and clock would refresh at the max speed of 61 frames per second (limited by monitor). However Audition refreshes at what I am guessing is around 12-15 FPS. The level meter is like watching stop motion animation and the clock skips along by fractions of a second instead of a smooth continuous spin. That rate makes the whole program appear sluggish and the level meter bars do not peak, just the resulting tic mark appears. The sound is fine and uninterrupted.
It is not a hardware issue. This is primarily a gaming rig (Nvidia 280 GTX, X-FI Fata1ity, Intel Quad core, 4GBs RAM, Vista 64x, etc.). I do audio editing as a side job. I've used versions of Cool Edit Pro for nearly a decade on many machines including this one and I want to upgrade to a multi-core/multi-thread version to make editing faster. Is there a setting somewhere to set faster display refresh rates?KougarLOB wrote:

I don't think so. That would be the setting that replaces any form of Vista with XP, I suspect, and M$ thoughtlessly didn't add that... but you could try turning off every single service that isn't needed, and try unplugging any form of networking connection - the polling these do can screw the response of your entire system. That's why dedicated DAWs are built - to get around all of the throttling that your average or gaming PC does. Look for an app like EndItAll, and run it before processing audio. No, I don't know why it happens, but there have been problems with video displays almost forever with CEP/Audition - simply because as an app, it doesn't prioritise video. -
Laptop switches to 40hz refresh rate when i remove AC power
This problem started today,Everytime i remove the ac power;A black screen comes momentarily and the screen which i was working on comes back,but this time the animations are kinda sluggish so i checked the advanced settings for display and found out that every time i remove the ac power it switches to 40Hz refresh rate and when i switch it back to 60Hz and then i plug in,it stays 60 but when i plug out it reverts to 40Hz.What bothers me is that this problem never came until today.

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:

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.
