> As of my knowledge forcing an LCD panel to other framerates than it > supports natively may kill it... ?! Don't worry, it will not kill anything. It's true, the LCD itsself always operates at the same frequency which can not be changed. If you use another frequency, you will probably get no picture at all, or a heavily distorted one. _But_ that frequency is fed to the LCD commonly via TTL or LVDS signals, a quite not-standardized type of connection which you probably have never seen. A standalone TFT screen is connected to the PC via VGA or DVI, which is then translated to the specific type of signal the TFT can display. This translation hardware will not produce any damaging frequencies, nevermind what signal you feed into it. The conversion may be better or worse on certain frequencies, but there can't be any dangerous frequency. Destroying monitors via software was indeed possible with fixed-frequency VGA CRT screens which were common back in the 1990s... > According to nvidia-setting 1920x1200 resolution is bound to 60Hz... That is 1920x1200x60=138.24 million pixel per second, on DVI link that is 414.72 million bytes per second or more than 3 gigabit. That's the maximum the DVI port (operating in single-link mode) can handle. So you can't increase the frame rate at that resolution. Greets, Kiste
