Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
So, I have a laptop, Lenovo IdeaPad 100 which has a 1366*768 60hz screen with intel Celeron n2840 and intel HD graphics (no numbers). Now, I just bought a 1080p 144hz LG monitor and I was wondering if I am able to use the 144hz. As of right now, the game I am playing (osu) says it's refreshing at 60hz with 120-240fps (i have a 240fps limiter). I've tried to get 144hz working. if I go into display settings, all the settings are greyed out and inaccessible (so I can't change resolution or the refresh rate). If I go into hd graphic settings, I'm able to change the resolution but the only way I can get the monitor to use more than 60hz is if I choose the lowest setting. Not the second to lowest. just the lowest. Then, I'm able to choose 120hz and have the game refresh at 120hz. If I go up 1 setting, my max refresh is 60hz... In short, I'm getting enough fps so the monitor refresh rate is useful... but I can't find a way to get it to run at 120 or 144hz.
Random information
I use 1080p when i'm using normal desktop stuff like browser, papers
I use 1366*768 full when i run osu. It is not stretched to fit the screen.
Connection is HDMI, I do believe it's 1.4 or 2.0
Supposedly you can manually change the game text to add custom refresh rates override current refresh rates. I've tried and failed.
Thank you
Am i able to run anything at 144hz with laptop and external monitor?
