Overclocking Dell U2417H

[BlazerBuddy]

Is it possible to overclock the Dell monitor from 1080p to 1440p?? I currently have it overclocked from 60hz to 76hz.

Dimensions- Length= 21.25in Height= 12.3in

The panel is physically 1080. There's nothing you can do to bump the resolution without buying a different panel.

You can't physically increase the pixel count of a display panel. 1080p will still be 1080p, you can cheese some games into running 1440p on a 1080p display but it's not actually going to make the display 1440p, you can't do that. If you want to play at 1440p buy a 1440p display.

What do you mean cheese some games into running at 1440p??

You can manually edit the config files of some games to run at 1440p resolution on a 1080p monitor. It's pointless and can be buggy so it's not worth doing.
