VG279QM Refresh rates

Post by BTRY B 529th FA BN » 13 Jan 2021, 09:09

VG279QM owners can you do me a favor and right click desktop, select Display settings, Advanced display settings, open up the Refresh Rate drop-down and tell me what refresh rates are available?
I'm seeing
279.857 Hz
239.760 Hz
144.001 Hz
119.930 Hz
99.898 Hz
84.884 Hz
60.000 Hz
59.940 Hz
59.940 Hz
50.000 Hz

All my other monitors are exact numbers e.g. 240 Hz, 144 Hz, 120 Hz, etc. I'm just wondering if there's something that I might of did that did this like an imported Nvidia profile er something. I don't remember seeing those numbers when I first got the monitor. The Nvidia profile I imported changed the settings above from 280 Hz to 144 Hz without me realizing it for a week or so.


Thank you for your time

These are plug-n-play reported in the monitor's EDID.

It's normal for many monitors to have refresh rates off by a fractional decimal.

You can install exact-decimal refresh rates via creating custom resolutions (in ToastyX CRU or NVIDIA Custom Resolution).

Got a question. Not sure if my monitor is flaking out or not. I'm still under 30 days to return it. Sometimes when I boot up, the monitor will be in 144Hz mode(advanced desktop properties), with no available options for a higher refresh rate. It's done this more than once in the past week. Why is it doing this? A reboot sometimes fixes this but not all the time.
