Monitor stuck at 59hz?

[Jackr987]

I've got a BenQ GW2765HT it says my refresh rate is at 60 with nvidia control panel. When I go to select the refresh rate in the windows control panel, it gives me the option of both 59 and 60. However it stays at 59 when I close the window. Even if I have chosen 60 and selected apply...

I'm normally playing games at 1080p, but have my desktop at 1440p is this effecting it? Also Battlefield 4 only gives me the option for 59.94Hz not 60.

How to I determine the true RR of my monitor? And how can I keep it at 60?

The real refresh rate is 59.94 Hz. Some programs round up, and some down. It's normal, it's not taking away performance from you.
No such thing as 60 Hz, 75 Hz, 120 Hz, 144 Hz.

Ah thanks, but how come I only select 60hz when using 1080p and not my native 1440p ? Does 1440p do something to the refresh rate? Yet I'n BF4 I play at 1080 and on my old monitor it used to say 60Hz but now it says 59.94.

Posessed monitors. There's no such thing as true 60 Hz. It all needs to be in sync.

It seems to be a windows 7 to 8/10 thing. 7 would say 60Hz in bf4 and 8/10 now says 59.94.

How technical should I get?

Basically it's not possible, because displays need to avoid the alternating current which is actually 60 Hz, and that's been a standard ever since.

Is there anything else?
