59Hz

This recently just happened to me. It didnt "seem" to happen until I tried to mess around and add a dual monitor. I was like fine. I hate 60 hz as it is but Ive gotten used to it over the past 2 yrs.

I noticed it said 59hz. I may just have a sharp eye but to me it looked slightly "watered". Went to change it to 1920x1080 HD 60 hz and the highest it went was 59.

I said eff it and chose SD 1920x1080 HD 60hz. It took the setting and asked did I want to keep it. After saying yes it reverted back to the 59hz mode. I was like wtf. I didnt want unsintall drivers clean as nothing is technically "broken". Ill do a clean install when the next nvidia driver is released because I dont prefer custom modes.

Found this article.Followed instructions I had to manually add the 1 in the 60.0001.It still sets that back to 60.0000 but so far it looks like it used to so Ill take it. I have no clue as to what caused this cause I know for a fact it was on 60. I did notice that my HDCP status is now unlocked and it wasnt before, maybe if I can re-lock it, it would "fix" it. For now ill try this.

**EDIT....Dxdiag reports the monitor is running at 59 hz

it's a known issue in Windows 7, microsoft have acknowledged the fault and explained the cause and no action is needed as it's supposed to do that apparently Screen refresh rate in Windows 7 does not apply the user selected settings on monitors & TVs (that report specific TV compatible timings)
