144hz Monitor Showing as 143hz in Display Settings

[enzoguastavino]

I have a Dell S2417DG which is supposedly 144hz, yet under display settings it shows 143hz. Games seem to running at 144hz and that option is present in the games I've tried so far but I find it strange that it would show 143hz instead of 144hz. Any ideas?

Probably just Windows, the Windows display settings are terrible and almost never work properly or like they should. If you can get a 3rd party software for display settings it should report right in there.

Most likely a down-rounded value, since Windows truncates numbers rather than rounding them. 59.94 Hz shows up as "59 Hz" rather than 60 Hz in Windows, for example.

Excellent answer.
