So I went to "My Digital Flat-Panels" -> "Properties (My Digital Flat-Panel)" while using my Acer P246HL and at the top it says "Maximum reported refresh rate: 75Hz". Now, as far as I'm concerned I'm running @ 60hz. Is ccc correct? And if so how do I get it to that speed? While I'm asking this does anyone know if there would be a noticeable difference between these two settings?

LCDs have a normal refresh rate (usually 60Hz) that is used when the monitor is displaying its native resolution (1920x1080, 1600x900, 1280x720, etc). For your monitor, the default refresh rate is 60Hz at 1920x1080.

You can get the monitor to refresh at 75 Hz by lowering your resolution. Unfortunately you'd have to lower it pretty far for the 75 Hz to become an option ... probably 1280x1024 or something similar.

Would there be a noticable difference? If your resolution could stay the same, yes. Will you notice the 15Hz difference between 1920x1080 @60Hz and 1280x1024 @75Hz? No, you'll be too distracted by how awful the picture looks. Is it worth it? Not even a little.
