OVERCLOCK LAPTOP HZ SCREEN

[FrancoTecno]

Hello, has anyone had experiences overclocking their laptop monitor? I have a msi gt60 laptop with an integrated 1920x1080 60hz LCD monitor from LG. I have tried overclocking it to 90hz, and it works correctly, it does not heat or have frame skipping, but I wanted to know if it is possible that the screen ends up ruining me or what could happen to me.

90hz damn, my dads craptop could only get to 75hz (84hz with ruined colours) and the laptop im using has locked nvidia controls so idk how to set custom resolution on it aside from reinstalling drivers

 

As for the monitor itll be completely fine because you are simply raising frequency not voltages or anything like that, maybe slightly higher power draw but otherwise you are fine

 

There is no proof of lcd degradation due to overclocking so unless someone has proof any claims of "damage" are complete baseless bullshit

perfect! Yes, it does feel a bit hotter, but not too hot either... it does heat up a bit at 60hz. I reckon I'll try. Regarding your monitor, did you use CRU? And I also say that I achieve the 90hz with the stock resolution.

 

And how long have you been using 75hz on your laptop?

really,i can get 100hz but I don't want to demand too much either, at 90 I'm perfect.

Yep CRU

Clock it as much as possible without the colours going to shit, again no such thing as monitor degradation, just slightly higher power draw

Are you sure it's slightly older? Because I have seen that they say that overclocking the monitor lowers its useful life, since it gets hotter and the electronic components wear out more when heated. So I calculate that the more you overclock the more consumption, more heat and less useful life, the monitor really isn't prepared to support that much. Or at least that's what I understand

Still doesnt matter, your laptop will be obselete before the monitor ever dies on its own, the monitors useful life will far exceed that of the laptops overclocked or not

 

Why bother overthinking about garbage that doesnt matter in the real world and only on some stupid specsheet
