Microsoft answer: Certain monitors report a TV-compatibility timing of 59.94Hz. Therefore, Windows 7 exposes two frequencies, 59Hz and 60Hz, for every resolution that is supported at that timing. The 59Hz setting makes sure that a TV-compatible timing is always available for an application such as Windows Media Center. The 60Hz setting maintains compatibility for applications that expect 60Hz. In Windows 7, when a user selects 60Hz, the OS stores a value of 59.94Hz. However, 59Hz is shown in the Screen refresh rate in Control Panel, even though the user selected 60Hz. Regards |

59 Hz vs 60 Hz.
I have bought a Atvio 55 4k UHD screen and had the issue of the refresh rate. After weeks of getting the right resolution I solved the 59 to 60 to 59 issue. Basically you need to start by Windows recognizing your screen parameters. Usually it will recognize a simple basic PNP monitor and give you the 59Hz for it. You have to look for the screen driver on the net or create one. I had to create mine using Monitor asset manager (MonInfo) display info tool (no advertising intended) it's a freeware. Save it's information as monitor.inf to be used in setting it up. Next go to device manager and do a screen setup, and when prompted use the Have disk option and reference to your created monitor.inf file. Once there download the latest driver for your video card. UN-INSTALL your current video card driver and do a restart of the system. Verify your monitor info is being used by Windows, and then install your new video card driver. Video card driver will now take the monitor information and setup the correct parameters.

Windows 7 insists on resetting my T260 to 59hz Ok, I tried to help a few others on here - now it's my turn. Done the web searches about Win 7 resetting my Samsung T260 monitor on startup to 59hz (from proper setting of 60hz) which annoyingly reduces text size. Can't find an answer! Appears many others suffer from this 59HZ 'bug'. This... |

Refresh rate won't go above 59hz I have a 8800 GTS running with an HP LP2275w monitor. I just installed win7 and for some reason it won't let the refresh rate go above 59hz. My monitor is capable of running 60hz. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but I actually find it quite disorienting. When I change the video settings... |
