Overclocked my LCD panel, twas worth it!

Following the guide listed under the tutorial section ( this really needs to be a sticky by the way )

 

I was able to bring up my refresh rate to 75hz and what a difference! Firstly, my entire desktop just looks more polished and fluid. I have a 120hz panel in my living room and I'll say the fluidity is almost on par with it. I really can't tell the difference between the two. I especially noticed this when gaming or watching movies, i'm thoroughly, pleasantly surprised. 

 

I honestly have no desire to upgrade my monitor now, and I would say that this increase has affected my gaming performance in a positive way. My mouse movements are smoother and I'm even able to pick targets out faster. Basically, all of you trapped in the 60hz cesspool need to attempt the overclock. You'll be very happy you did. 

 

And again, mods please sticky/pin the thread.

I personally would just buy a new monitor with a higher refresh rate. From what i've seen OC'ing a monitor panel could just deteriorate it so it wouldn't last that long. After all, I have 2 120hz monitors on the way to replace my current ones.

I just used Linu's tutorial and my PA248Q seems to run fine at 75Hz. I am going to play some games now. 

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Just overclocked my monitor yesterday and so far no issues. But I can go only @ 76hz w/out any issues. @ 77hz screen becomes blurred and washed out.

You can really see the improvements on fps games.

Nothing to see here - move along.

Do it and waste no time. Like I said, the effect of 75hz produces the same perception I have when using my 120hz bigscreen. A noticeable improvement, I'm happy

I tried and it would only go to 66Mhz so I left it alone.

Yeah, did the same thing to my screens. 80Hz on my main/good screen and 65 on my second screen. I got up to 95Hz on my laptop before it started getting fuzzy. There is a pretty good difference.

Anything that has a processor can be overclocked.So your SSD can be overclocked. But one wants to do it, because no one wants to lose their data, let alone the time to re-install Windows and all your programs and games.

Of course. Just keep in mind that the mechanical system is designed to operate at the mentioned speed. Forcing the motor and head going faster (beside the fact that you need to fine tune the calibration for the drive to work, and not start fetching wrong requested data), that the system may become debalanced due to micro imperfections in the platters or the motor can't provide low/no vibration at the specified speed which will permanently damage the drive or your case. It;s for a reason why slower hard driver are cheaper than the high speed ones, and server ones.

If you don't plan to touch that and simply boost the processor of the HDD, then that would be useless, as this is not the bottleneck.

I've done this on my Asus PA248Q over DisplayPort using Intel HD 4600 Graphics Control Panel Custom resolution with CVT-RB timing standard. 


Monitor hardware info
1920 x 1200

93KHz / 75Hz

However, my brother has pointed out that the UFO at .testufo.com is showing inconsistent motion judder, more so compared to 60hz, even though its reporting 75Hz.

Can you please share your settings, and were they judder free?
