I recently switched from MSI Afterburner to EVGA Precision. I decided to try their Pixel Clock option. I have an ASUS VS247H-P that went from 60hz to 65hz successfully.

 

I want to know who is using this software and what monitor overclocks they have been able to achieve!

is this the same thing as in the nVidia driver where you can make a custom res and change the frequency? I don't see why you would need a separate program for that.

Kilobytez95 is correct, This is nothing new.

Overclocking a monitor is not good, as the not only you reduce the life time of the panel, and possibly burn pixels, (the trend of people overclocking the monitor is new.. don't ask me what's the length of reduction...).

So aside from the above, the big problem is that the LCD liquid is unable to catchup to the demanded speed, creating a blurry image on motion. Some people think that they see more frames, as the image is smoother, but in reality it's not the real thing. If you have a true 120Hz monitor next to you, and you can notice the difference.
