Question Samsung CJG50 not showing 144hz option

[lkprta]

I have a high-speed HDMI cable and yet when I got into the settings to change the refresh rate it only shows 60hz instead of the advertised 144hz option.
What may be the reason that's causing this issue? All my drivers are updated and I've installed the monitor driver as well, I can't seem to find the culprit.

System specs:
CPU: i5-6600
GPU: GTX 1060 6 GB
RAM: 8 GB

Both your monitor and GPU have DisplayPort connectors so try that (you'll need a DP cable of course).

That monitor only supports 144 Hz on one of the HDMI ports, not both. Try the other port.

Wow that actually worked, thank you so much! I guess that just shows I need to do my research better when buying a new monitor...

Reading the manual when you have an issue always helps too
