How long have you had the monitor for? Has it always done that or just recently?

How does it go with lower hz?


It is odd for a display to behave this way. Since you tried different PC's and dvi cables i'd point the finger at the monitor and need to rma it.

Check monitor menu options anything in there that could influence this. I doubt there is but look anyway before returning it.

its kinda a really old monitor like 2011 or 2012 and i always played on it with 60hz becuase my old pc couldnt handle 120hz
but when i bought a new pc i tryed to put 120hz and then everything gets blurry

You'll need a DVI-D dual link cable for 120hz. Or try using a Displayport cable. Test with the required cables before blaming a defective monitor or GPU!

Is the monitor actually a 120Hz monitor? If not, then thats your problem.

*Edit* NM, I just checked....Are you sure your not running the monitor in 3D mode or something silly like that? You might want to make sure you are setting it to 120hz in 2D Mode.

If windows still allows 120hz input then it must be the monitor. Single link dvi wouldn't give the os an option to choose. But the 3d senerio is a good one.

ok i checked both 2d mode and 3d mode and still everything gets blurry

It migjt not be but in the monitor menu if you go through it should be something in there regarding 3d

Looks like the monitor isn't upto the task, not much else you can do with it

Have you tired running 120hz with an HDMI 1.4 cable?

 

[boju]

Hdmi 2 needs to be port to port which may accept 120hz with some monitors but since his is before hdmi 2's time it wont.

 

[Neur0nauT]

It seems silly that the 3D functionality would only be possible via DVI-DL. 3D requires 120hz I believe. I wonder would a 1.4b cable work?
