[SOLVED] Monitor "Overclocking"?

[zukoarson]

So I got a cheap monitor. (and im not planning on buying a new one.)
It supports 1366x768 max resu and runs 75hz on 1024x768 and below.
So I wanna play on 1280x1024 but it only supports 1366x768, 1280x720, 1024x768, 832x624, and 800x600.
And then my friend told me to use CRU and basically add 1280x1024 to the menu. Okay.

And here is my question.

"Does using 'Unsupported resu(s) (ie. 1280x1024 in my case)' damage my monitor?"
If not,
"Are there any drawbacks/side effects by using said 'Unsupported resu(s)"

PS. I dont care much about image quality, I can play csgo on 640x480 all day as long as i get 60-80fps out of my crappy hardware. And also I'm broke, soo.. It is what it is.

And also add me on valorant Luft Waffen SS #00000

Usually a monitor will not apply a resolution that would hurt it, it would just turn black and give you a -out of range- message.
But since you say cheap monitor, all bets are off, if it is so cheap that it has no checks at all there is no telling if there could be a problem.

In your opinion, should I do it??

If you are able to replace that monitor if you get unlucky then do it.
The chances that you damage it are very small but if you can't replace it and it breaks you are screwed.
