    Hi, I have a p170hm and realized that the screen is running at 63hz. Is this normal. I thought most screen other than 3d ones are supposed to run at 60hz.
    I tried to change it through windows but the only option it gives me is 63hz and "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" is greyed out and unticked.
    Anyways to set it to 60hz as I know most games run at 60hz and others hz may cause problem in games... Any help will be much appreciated.

    My screen runs at 63hz. I always thought that was kind of a weird refresh rate as well. Doesn't cause any issues that I'm aware of. You may even get an extra 3 fps on some games when V-sync enabled. ;)
