Talk about overclocking displays at a higher refresh rate. This includes homebrew, 165Hz, QNIX, Catleap, Overlord Tempest, SEIKI displays, certain HDTVs, and other overclockable displays.

So far I'm iffy about this monitor. 800 bucks makes it my most expensive monitor ever, and I find that I have no idea how to use the settings.

Let's start off with overclocking. Somehow I got this to work right out of the box. Hit OC in the OSD, then Nvidia settings immediately showed a 160hz option. Done.

Now when I try to overclock, it just goes to a black screen.

Since then, I've tinkered with things like HDR, 10-bit, and switched them all on and off. So far I really like HDR, 10-bit and 144hz. But it just bothers me I cannot get 160hz to work again. I understand that it won't work with 10-bit (I think).

So how the heck do I "trick" this thing to go back to OC at 160hz again? My end goal is to compare gaming at 144hz/HDR/10-bit with 160hz HDR/8-bit to see if it makes any difference at all.

TL:DR: Overclock worked on day one. Now it doesn't. I probably won't use it, but for 800 bucks I want all my features to work.
