59Hz

[johngalt]

People please realize that 59 and 60 are (statistically speaking) insignificantly different. Quit wasting your time!

ok, I don't see any difference in image at all. my only concern is about my monitor not working in its recommended settings and if it could affect it.

 

[TechOutsider]

Well I haven't noticed anything wrong, addressing your concerns xan K.

I disagree. The specifications are not "60Hz and only 60 Hz, b/c 59 or 61 will kill you in 3.45 milliseconds" - the specs are set to ~60Hz, with a standard deviation associated (I am not sure what those are, as those are rarely published, but a 'usual' standard deviation is + or - 3% - and that is equal to + or - 1.8Hz - which means that 58.2 - 61.8 is *acceptable*. Hence my use of the phrase

(statistically speaking) insignificantly different

Even with the nVidia drivers, even with the built in ones from Win7, even with Beta drivers - both of my Acer X213W 22" widescreen Monitors use 59Hz - regardless of whether I use the Acer drivers for the *monitors* or not - and regardless of what I change it to. It defaults back to 59 on any reboot.

It is simply not worth the time to figure out why - as I have mentioned in the post earlier, Win7 is assigning the value based upon the reading it gets from the EIDE from the monitor itself, which any monitor that has DVI will be passing along to the computer (and thus the OS). If this is what Win7 wants, let it use it.

Thanks for the reassurance. and yeah, this thing is very difficult (if not impossible) to fix with current drivers. I've tried everything and it goes back to 59Hz. well, might be a good time to give up the fight.

I'm done messing with it.If it isn't affecting me at the moment i suppose there's no need to worry about it.

You could probably edit the display mode data in the monitor's and video card's drivers; however, you could possibly end up replacing cosmetic annoyance with physical damage should you bungle the changes. I've just decided that my monitors are vain: they are forever 59 and will never turn 60 (much like Jack Benny, who, for you spring chickens, was perpetually 39).

 

[johngalt]

Starting next year *I'll* be 39 perpetually too....

I have also got the same problem!

When running at 1680X1050, it locks to 59Hz and the screen shivers and shakes all over the place!
There are also lines across the screen which sometime get so bad you cannot even read what is there...

In order to get 60Hz to work, I have to drop my resolution to 1440X900, then the 59Hz option disappears and leaves only the 60Hz option.
The screen is now perfect, with no corruption at all...

I have an HP w2207 running off 2 XFX 8800GTS 512Mb cards in SLi.
All the latest drivers are installed for both devices.
I am currently testing it with the latest windows 7 build 7100.

So, the problem is still there!

When is this going to be sorted out?
I have tried evey possible solution listed here, but nothing seams to work?!?!?!

 

[swarfega]

sadly I can confirm that this bug is still present in 7100.

 

[Deanos]

Can anybody else confirm weather dropping their resolution sorts it out for them too?

Does anybody know whether this is a Windows 7, Nvidia or monitor driver problem?

Who else can we bug to get this resolved?

I can confirm that in anything other then the native resolution it will select 60Hz.

 

[swarfega]

tbh Id rather stay at my higher resolution with the 59hz thing. It doesnt appear to make any difference.

Don't you get any corruption, shivering and/or shaking of the screen at 59Hz?

I don't, that's a bit strange.

 

[Deanos]

Strange....

I wonder if it has do do with the monitor drivers then and not the Nvidia drivers?!?!?!

I don't.

I occasionally get shivering at log on screen so have to reboot again, its normally fine after that.

The shivering starts only after logon for me...
No matter whether I reboot or not...

This definitely is getting stranger by the minute!!!!
