ok i have a philips 273v5 that i freaking LOVE 27" of 1080p, great color and 5ms(IIRC) response time, its at 60fps and i want to OC it to 75+ if it can hande it so whats the best way to do so, it cant do it on its own as far as i have seen but i know there are programs that can let you overclock it through them so witch is the "best" and how do i use it? i have seen people getting 120hz out of there monitors so i would love to see what this one can do!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, you can do it within GeForce Experience.  If you have an AMD gpu, there's a guide here.  http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/31526-overclocking-your-monitor-refresh-rate-amd-gpus/

 

LTT video if you have Nvidia:

i5-4690k@4.5GHz || MSI GTX 970 || MSI z97 Gaming 5 || NZXT Kraken x61 || WD Black 1TB || Crucial MX100 || 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro || Corsair RM750 || NZXT H440 || Corsair k70 RGB mx browns || Acer H236HL || ViewSonic VX2255wm-4

How is the monitor connected to the pc?  VGA, DVI, HDMI or Display Port?  Are you trying to overclock to 61Hz or downclock to 1Hz?
