Phillips 246E Can't overclock?

[AndrewMTG]

I have a Phillips monitor running at 1080p 60herts but when i try overclocking it doesnt work and it is stopped by phillips with a pop up saying cannot display this resolution plesae run at 1920x1080@60hz can i try to get it to run at 75hz? It can display 75hz but at lower resolutions

If you monitor is manufactured for 60hz. You can't make it 75!

Just reviving this old thread, to show that it is possible for this cheap Phillips monitor.

 

First, download/install CRU and the AMD/Nvidia pixel clock patcher from here:

https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

 

In CRU, allow for a bigger pixel clock and set this detailed resolution:

 

 

Once you are done, use the reset/reset64 program in the CRU folder and change the monitor refresh rate from your windows setting to check. You can try small increments in CRU and see what works for you.

 

 

It is important to disable GPU scaling from your graphic card settings, as it might attempt to change to its native 1920x1080@60hz resolution despite your selection.

 

 

I copied the resolution details from here: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Philips-220e-60hz-how-far-can-i-push-it-with-overclocking

 

Obviously, you really want to buy a proper gaming monitor... but if you want to tinker around, this is fun

Thank you for your help. Works like a charm on a Phillips 273V

Thank you works on Philips 243V overclocked to 70hz (going to try underclocking now)
