THANK YOU ONE YEAR LATER I USED THE DISPLAY CABLE THAT CAME WITH THE MONITOR AND IT WORKED

[Wooskii]

My solution was- Shut down, swap from displayport to hdmi, boot with hdmi, shutdown again and back to DP. Booting with HDMI fixed the bug...
For some reason switching from DP to HDMI unlocked the refresh rate options in advanced settings and still worked when I went back to Display Port, dunno why but it worked. I tried everything short of a full fresh windows install; I did reinstall windows but kept my files, unplug and replug the DP cable from the gpu and monitor, restart, delete and reinstall the factory display driver, install new display driver, messed with GPU settings and drivers etc... Nothing worked until I found a random redit post- similar problem same solution (he was stuck at 1hz tho!) I hope this saves someone hours of smashing their head against a wall

[thisnameisnottakeniswear]

[amosus]

i love you so much i just unplugged my DP and plugged it back in and everything works and i thought it was a software problem

[therecreationalartist]

My only issue was i didn't know that setting existed, so all I had to do was change it so thanks!

hey, do you know why my monitor works on 60hz but not on 144? i have my cable put in the right place but when i change it to 144hz my screen goes black and i only see a little bit on my top of the screen and thats it

I have a qn90b plugged in to an x17 r2 laptop. I am unable to LOWER my refresh rate. I noticed I only have 144hz option available. I'm 100% positive i've had multiple options before (60, 120, 144) and now I can only see the 144 option. How is this possible?

Should i buy an usb c to display port adapter for my Laptop? Or should i just wait until imma build my own PC?

[anoniem]

Thankyou so much for the info all the other videos were just showing the same thing

[astroisanuub]

Thanks so much. I was using my other monitors hdmi cable thinking it would work with this new monitor but it didnt. Found the dp cord that goes with this and it changed from 100 hz to 165 hz displays.

I am having an issue that when using Display Port, as I have for years, I suddenly cannot use 144hz though it has worked just fine in the past. I switch to HDMI 2.0 everything works fine. But, again, Display Port will not do the 144hz.

i just bought a odyssey g5 (2k 144hz monitor) and it came with a hdmi cord and tried that but didnt work... i then went out and bought a display port and its still not working. could it be the display port i bought isnt good? ive been trying to mess with this for hours and no luck. all drivers are good, ive checked my setting no luck. ive tried turning off free sync. please help!!!

[dorincochela]

video helped straight away as he explains at minute 3:00 I was plugging the hdmi into the the hdmi plug that didnt support the maximum refresh rate that I could have on this monitor, so this monitor that i m currently using is got 2 hdmi and 1 display port, the first doesnt support more than 30hz the, second hdmi does and it is what I just did inserting it into the second, its strange as its a samsung monitor running at 4k 60hz max, well thanks for the video mate

[ShaneScott]

[Jenny-seks]
