Hello guys, so I tried using 75hz since that’s what my monitor can do on Windows.
My monitor is a 16:10 1650x1080
I use KDE Plasma
On windows everything works fine when I just change the refresh rate to 75hz, but I had an issue here on Linux. Pixels were flying around and my monitor showed me an error message that its overscan. I thought its just an issue with xrandr and tried every single refresh rate until 60. Then I noticed something: even at 60, my custom mode has the same problem. So I went into the display settings and saw that it was reported as 1650x1080 55:36 instead of 16:10. Anyone know what the issue could be? I used this guide from github https://github.com/kevinlekiller/linux_intel_display_overclocking with the xrandr method since I have an rx470. If it helps, this is my modeline
I used the command cd ~/ && ./cvt12 1650 1080 75 -b and got
Just as advice, it is better to use it at 60hz and always leave those remaining 15kz so that the monitor feels more comfortable in its operation, only that.
well I now realized that I used the wrong res, but for some reason wtih 1680x1050 everything looks fine but my monitor itself still gives me an overscan error message and that I should change the resolution back
xrandr tells you the Hz your monitor supports for the resolutions. I would be going by that otherwise you risk damaging your monitor. I wouldn’t be concerned what it say’s in Windows. I doubt very much whether i could tell any difference. If the monitor supports it you should be able to set it to that.
Xrandr will show what your monitor will support. You should be able to set it if it’s supported. I may not have the settings command exactly the way it needs to be.
