But now I found a program, that lets me override the monitor refresh rate and it enabled me to run my netbook at 110 Hz REFRESH RATE! Thats almost twice as what it ran before ( 60 Hz ). And what is best, this SHOULD work on almost any screen out there.
So how did I do it?
( I am not responsible for any damages you do while modding your hardware )
I used a program called CRU ( Custom Resolution Utility )
Simply open up the program in administrator mode, select your display you wanna modify from dropdown menu. Then select your resolution from the Detailed Resolution list that you want to edit and press edit.
Then press the button 'Copy' and close the Detailed Resolution window. After that press 'Add..' on the CRU main screen and then 'Paste' in the Detailed Resolution window. It should copy over the default values and then you are ready to edit the refresh rate.
After restarting go to your monitor properties ( In windows 7: Right click on desktop > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > Monitor tab. ) and select your new Screen Refresh Rate from the dropdown menu and press OK. It should then change your monitor refresh rate. If the refresh rate works, then go to CRU again and add even higher refresh rates and repeat until your monitor will stay black screen. In that case either wait 15 seconds for windows to automatically revert back to its last refresh rate ( If you kept the default profile in CRU Detailed Resolution list ) OR restart to safe mode and delete the Resolution with too high refresh rate.
