Damn

It does this at 61 hz too

I still wonder if this is an arbitrary restriction, or if the monitor is simply incapable.

Can't go past 60hz ._.

65 Hz working fine
However 70 Hz makes my screen go crazy
Let's try above 65 ..
66 Fine...
67 Is breaking
Yeah, So my maximum is 66
Iiyama ProLite E2473HDS

Feedback:
Seeing A LITTLE difference, on taiko, while telling an auto to play big black, dons /kats eyes, on 60 Hz, are a little stuttering, however, on 66 Hz this effect is invisible.

Never mind, it was an arbitrary restriction. I disabled "Safety lock" in my monitor's options and now I can go all the way to 120 Hz. Nice!

I have samsung syncmaster S24B300, can you tell me where you disabled this safety lock? hopefully i can do it as well because it's not letting me stay at 120hz

I've got an LG 24EA53VQ and while not quite 120Hz, I managed to get it up to 75Hz (dual-link DVI cable). Anything more makes it throw "DVI-D out of range". Still an improvement, thanks a lot ^_^

You can use the same trick to display a higher then native resolution.
From 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 ex.

i can only go up from 60Hz to 75. i'm happy enough with this :D

got a question tho
are there any penalties if i raise it from my default refresh rate? i'm new to this

It might lower your monitor's lifespan, but that really depends on what monitor you have.
(And some monitors don't truly display higher refresh rates, click here and read Use #2)

I think you're supposed to be looking at the flashing lights. They should be flashing left-to-right, one after another. If the flashing pattern isn't constant or doesn't look correct, it's not truly running at the refresh rate you set (also, if you can monitor your framerate to make sure it's the same as your refresh rate, you'll ensure more accurate results).
Pizzicato
yeah i compared the flashing lights of 60hz and 75

skipping is constant at 60hz and at 75 the skipping is reduced

thanks~

picked up a $5 CRT
overclocked it to 134hz, CRTs are awesome because they have no motion blur and 0ms lag

edit: this is very useful if you have a capable monitor

I don't know as I have a Samsung Syncmaster XL2370. I can access advanced settings like Safety Lock by holding the Menu button down for 5 seconds.

For some reason I can't use this Catleap driver because it isn't signed... can anyone help me with that?

Wondering how well this works, I don't know my monitor model, but its refresh rate is 75, about how far would I be able to push it up?

you need to use a dual link dvi cable or hdmi to even think about pushing your refresh rate to 120hz

ohohohohohohohoh oh you.

OT: Haven't played using a monitor with higher refresh rates, but I think it would be better since it's "smoother" in display.

Then your panel just might not be capable of being overclocked. Could you post some info about your GPU & monitor?
