Dell U2417H Maximum Hz supported ?

[Henry Foo]

Hi guys, Im going to overclock my monitor, Dell Ultrasharp U2417H. The monitor specification written is support up to 50hz ~ 75hz, so do it means I overclock it to 75Hz directly and it do not cause any problem like crash or black screen ? Any U2417H user here kindly share me your maximum overclock hertz ?

That's not overclocking my friend - you can't "overclock" a monitor. :lol:
You are just adjusting the refresh-rate, that's all.

The recommended signal input for that model is:

Resolution 1920 x 1080
Refresh-rate 60 Hz

If specs say your monitor supports 75Hz then you can use 75Hz if you need to (to eliminate flickering) without causing damage. But be aware I cannot confirm that your monitor supports 75Hz, I just don't
know.

There is nothing to be gained by using 75Hz if it's not required.
