Missing Hz Option

[Wayhoo]

I built my first PC today, and my monitor was 75hz. When I opened my monitor settings I was able to select 75hz, which I did. Unfortunately while trying to figure out how to change my screens brightness, I checked my hz and BAM. The highest option is 60 hz now. I can't choose 75hz. Is there a way to fix this? I still can't change my brightness.

What monitor, what GPU, how is it connected (HDMI, DP?), what resolution and color depth?

 

The resolution and color depth may limit the maximum refresh rate you can achieve, depending on what DP/HDMI version your GPU and/or monitor support. The cable also needs to support the required bandwidth.

 

You should be able to change your brightness in the monitor's display settings. You typically can't change it in Windows, unless you have a laptop.

My monitor is an SPC 22 Super which is an asian brand, and my graphics card is a GTX 1660 Super. Resolution is 1920 x 1080. I'm using the cable the monitor came with that has 75hz with high reviews so I don't know what I did to make my 75hz option go away. When I go into my monitor's menu using the button, the brightness option is grayed out. It's stuck at 80 and it burns my eyes.

there are usually two places you have to set 75hz.. in nvidia panel.. AND screen setting personalization.(right click on the destkop and select Display settings)  under  related settings you find advanced display.

Plus the ability to create custom resolutions. On my old 60 Hz 1080p screen I can run 84 Hz without issue that way.

Now for the brightness, you might have to check if there are any profiles that lock the option. On said 60 Hz 1080p monitor I have things like "gaming" that forces maximum brightness or "cinema" that adds tons of sharpening.

Unfortunately I can't find too much info about the monitor anywhere.

 

Did you enable anything like a TV mode or similar in the monitor's OSD? That might force a fixed brightness.

I figured out the brightness, but where can you make a custom hz amount? Thanks

Thanks, I figured out that it was locked in movie mode
