I literally went thru all the bs of making this account because the responses to this are just soo terrible.
I'm sure you have figured out your issue at this point but people saying, "you can't" and "LCD's don't refresh" are obviously completely stupid.
If you want to increase your refresh rate simply google "overclocking". It's the most common pc hardware mod on earth.
Most devices are set factory at 60ghz but are easily overclocked.
Just BE WARNED: If you DO NOT HAVE adequate cooling or a weak graphics card or low RAM, you may destroy your PC/Laptop. I have done it more than once, it's happening to someone this very moment.
So, just be careful and step it up incrementally. I read somewhere that the eye can not even discern anything over 100 FPS, but this is not an agreed upon statement by any means. If you're interested in the topic, check this out:
How many frames per second can the human eye see? - very knowledgeably written and quite interesting...
At any rate (no pun intended, ah.ah... ya I'm cool..), just google overclocking and you'll see a billion different programs to do it.
And even if you're not trying to increase your FPS for gamming, etc., if you work on a PC all staring at a screen, (like I do...), a higher refresh rate is easier on the eyes, depending on sensitivity. Many people don't know wtf you're talking about nor do they care. At work I use between 72 & 80 depending on the machine and the work.
Good luck and overclock at your own risk!

overclocking doesnt increase your panels refresh rate.. just the amount of frames it can generate per second...
but if a panel only has a refresh rate of 60hz it will only ever refresh at 60 frames per second, so anything generated beyond that in an ideal world is pointless.
I say ideal world as the frames per second would have to perfectly match the refresh rate and never dip below or go above it.
the fact that the op is talking about their desktop completely makes youre entire post and going through the "bs" of signing up (is it really that hard to spell your name and email address..) pointless.. if the ops laptop cant produce and match the refresh rate on a static desktop something is seriously wrong.. that and overclocking WILL NOT have any benifit..
and to another point.. why were you trawling through a 3 year old post.. you must have been googling a similar question to be brought here...
you can reduce the resolution to lower value and increase the refresh rate to a higher value by click adapter/list all modes in the advance settings
Aw. He's banned. They always ban the entertaining ones....
