Overclocking Laptop Display

[Usernames are hard]

I overclocked my 60hz laptop display to 80hz. The highest stable is 82hz. I want to know whether this is safe for the display hardware. My laptop is still under warranty. Will this void my warranty? If something does go wrong, how would the manufacturer know the panel failed because I overclocked it? I've read everywhere on the internet that there is no instance that a panel has actually failed...

If the max is 82 I would recommend staying on 75 Hz.

I have overclocked most of my panels in the last 10 years since I figured out how. Out of the 6 of them I have overclocked, none of them have failed.
I cannot speak for the warranty, but I really doubt that the manufacturer would be checking for that. As long as you don't push it so hard that it has issues, you'll be fine. out of the 5 60hz panels I've had, 4 of them hit 75hz and I was like "+25%? that's good!" and the other one only hit 73hz and I was like "still pretty good!"

So if you can run it at 82hz and there's no artifacting or blurriness. Let it run for a day and see how it does. If there's an issue, bring it down lower. I'd probably pull it back to like 80hz, which is still great at +33% for no other reason than to try and extend the life of the panel just because it IS a laptop and you only have that one panel.

So you've not had issues of shortened lifespans or anything?

Nope. The only way I've lost monitors is actually breaking them by dropping them or dropping something on them... or alcohol was involved and I may have thrown a beer bottle at one.

 

I did have one monitor that after a while couldn't stay at 75hz forever and had to bring it down to 72-73, but I still use it like 8 years later as my chat window (60hz now, but it still CAN hit 72-73 if I chose to do so).

When you say couldn't stay at 75hz forever, do you mean artifacts started appearing? Also, what sort of time period are you talking about?
