Overclocking monitor's refresh rate

[simple115]

Hello, i have normal samsung monitor (1080p60hz), but it supports 75hz on 4:3 resolutions. I'm wondering. becauce I saw that if the monitor supports that frequency, it can support it on the native res.

 

I tried to oc it and its working (1080p75hz). Is this theory true, and if yes it's safe to use the oc? If not is it dangerous do use the oc'd hz?

Overclocking your monitor will decrease its lifespan and some monitors overclock more than others. So to answer your question, if safe means that it will work, then yes it is safe to use the oc.

I tried to oc it because this refresh rate is supported on other res (like i mentioned). Maybe I'll not use the oc because i have bad experience with samsung monitors

This doesn't mean that it isn't good at overclocking. My samsung 60hz monitor overclocks fine to 75hz however I keep it at 70hz because colours start to get messed up for some reason as I increase the refresh rate. I suggest you run it at native resolution at 70hz like me if you want a good gaming experience and you're precautious.

It's still under warranty and if something happens im gonna return it.

It's uncharted territory and no one can tell you if it's safe or not. It might blow up in your face the second you try it, or it might be perfectly happy to run at that overclock for years. My shitter Korean 1440p monitor has been running just fine with a 50Hz+ overclock for the last four years and still works just as good as the day I bought it. 

 

In general don't overclock something if you aren't willing to replace it.

Wow thanks, that frame skipping test was really helpful My monitor is not skipping frames on 75hz, so I think that it's stable.
