Thread: Second Monitor Refresh rate

No matter what I try now it runs at 60hz...
up to date win 11..

Any ideas? display port cable?

Is it a problem?? I can't help with your particular issue, but I have a 50" Pioneer Kuro TV ( Also quite a thing back in the day. Still is IMO ), and my TV insists on running it at 60Hz. It would automatically shift to 50Hz if I plugged it into a FTA antenna. Guess what I'm asking is, does the Acer control the PAL refresh rate? And do you get a good picture? Does the monitor autoselect the RR?

Any buttons on the screen itself that take you to a menu of options? Not quite the same as your problem but I watched someone try setting up a three screen system on a desktop gaming machine. No matter what they did in Windows they could not get three screens running at once. Secret was the menu contained in the screen itself.

Here you go,,, HDMI is limited to 60Hz..
got a mini display port to display port and bingo...
