I can't get 144hz in LG 24GL600F-B (PLEASE HELP)

[HeadCrash]

Hi guys, this is my first time getting my hands on a 144hz monitor. I recently got LG 24GL600F-B which has a 144hz..

I am running it under a laptop. (nothing special)

i7 8650U,

16 g. ram and using

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620.

It only let's me set it to 120hz.

The hdmi ports are 2.0 and I am using it from hdmi with a cable that was included with the monitor which is an hdmi 1.4 cable.

 

Why can't i get 144hz? Is it because of the cable or the laptop it's self?

Please help, i've been searching for days but all i get is info about how to set up 144hz in any computer.

idk if this is true but hdmi 1.4 might be limited to 120hz

From the things i researched HDMI 1.4 does support 144hz on 1080p. 

I'm running the laptop at a 1080p resolution. But I'm not getting the option to put 144hz.

 

A friend told me that it's because of Intel HD graphics which is not campatible with 144hz but I'm not sure if this is correct. 

[Chabax]

you need DP (display port) cable

[Jurrunio]

Just overclock it to 144Hz manually with custom resolution and refresh rate. there are guides on the internet.

From the sources i can find the UHD 620 can theoratically push 120Hz at 1080p with HDMI 1.4 for more you would need HDMI 2.0 or DP.

But the real question that we should be asking ourselves here is, if your Laptop is even able to push any modern game (except maybe CS:GO) at 120Hz or even 144Hz?

and if so at what settings? cheers

he could try that but the real question is if his machine is even capable of pushing thus many Hertz

So i'm reading through some more articles about this topic and i'm thinking of another variable: have you tried any other HDMI cable then the one that came with your monitor? maybe getting a certified (not compliant) HDMI 2.0 cable would help.

And are you sure that the HDMI ports are really native HDMI 2.0 and not 1.4?

so according to this post: Guide to Display Cables / Adapters (v2) on the LTT Forum that has all the data, HDMI 1.4 is able to do 144Hz at 1080p

but still the same question on my mind: "can your Laptop (UHD 620) even push 144Hz in any Game?"

 

Hope i could help a bit

you push fps in games, Hz everywhere. Being able to do 144Hz has nothing to do with compute performance, only bandwidth (and if it cant, it doesnt meet HDMI 1.4 standard)

but this is obviously about gaming and thus mixing up the terminology of Hertz and Frames Per Second doesn't really matter

they differ way more than just terminology....

Refresh rate is a measure of screen update interval while frame rate is a measure of frame generation interval. You can think of these two as "speed of pressing buttons" and "speed of using a calculator", they are not related even though they affect user experience together.

Hi CYBR_GHST, thank you for responding. 

 

I am sure that both hdmi ports from this monitor are HDMI 2.0. as i've seen it in the official LG site and other reviews.

I am thinking that the problem might be the cable. Perhaps it's not an HDMI 1.4 and instead it's a 1.2

I already ordered a Display cable 1.2 to play at 144hz on 144p or 1080p.

 

The games that i've tried using 144hz is Paladins and quake live.

though i can't because the output display is at 120hz so... i could play Paladins at 90-100 fps at 1080p using 120hz (Paladins running at low)

and on Quake live i would play with no problems at 120hz feeling pretty good. (Quake live running at low)

 

to play 144hz at 144p or 1080p I'm building my self a good rig.

Specs for future rig:

 Ryzen 5 2600

GTX 1660 ti

Vengance 16 gigs ram 3200mhz dual

B450 AORUS PRO WIFI Rev. 1.0

Corsair VS650 W

Kingston SA2000M8/250G Solid State Drives, GB, 2280-Inch

 

 

and this is the Display cable i ordered

Yes that is correct. But what i was trying to say is: even if his HDMI port 1.4 or higher would be theoratically able to do the bandwith needed for 144Hz 1080p

it would not matter because with the hardware at his hands (Laptop UHD 620) he can only run the games he is playing for example "paladins" at 90-100fps at low settings.

so the limitation in terms of gaming performance is the compute performance. because what this is actually about is not if wether or not he will be able to have his desktop refresh

at 144Hz but how to run his games at 144 FPS. and that is simply not going to happen with that hardware, so why even bother with setting the Monitor to 144Hz when you can't get more than 90 FPS in your Games. that is the point i'm trying to make here.

144Hz desktop looks SMOOOOOTH

 

or he just wants the most out of his money. I myself would just settle with 120Hz (my desktop has 144Hz monitor and my laptop has 120Hz, they are equally smooth to me)

Sure thing,

 

So you got both HDMI and DP Fullsize ports on your Laptop? that's intresting.

 

What really does matter is if the HDMI port on your Laptop is a native 1.4 or 2.0 not if the port on your external Display is HDMI 2.0

OMG i didn't think about the Laptop HDMI output port! I think you cracked the case!

The laptop does not have DP the rig I'm building does though.. (future pc)

Glad i could help buddy! let me know once it's all figured out. Till then you gotta live with 120Hz

Hi CYBR_GHST, just you let you know i already have my PC all setup, from the previous components i mentioned above and now I'm getting 144hz using the hdmi cable 1.4 both monitor and graphics card hdmi ports are 2.0 :). Thank you for the help!

Change your pc resolution from 1080p(native) to 1080p. Then you surely get 144hz refresh rate.
