Safe to overclock a monitor?

[Vryonix]

How much will it decrease its lifetime? 60Hz

How high do you want to go tho? If it's just 62Hz to eliminate the stuttering of those weird 60fps-limit-results-in-62-fps-limit games then it's unlikely to affect the lifespan.

depends on the monitor

most will say out of sync or no signal when you go too far

fyi its not overclocking, just giving it a higher refresh rate

Well I'm getting one of them ASUS £80-£100 monitors and want to overclock it as much as possible, maybe 70hz +

Fyi increasing the refresh rate increases the resulting pixel clock. It is literally overclocking.

I ran my old 60hz Asus Monitor at 75hz for years and thousands of hours with no ill effect. there is always risk tho

I bought used LED 60Hz monitor.
Overclocked it to 68Hz and using it like that for almost 4 years.
Someone is always using PC so monitor is almost always turned on.
Still working perfectly fine.

Depends on what monitor you have, can it damage it? Yes. Will it? Probably not. For me I was able to overclock mine to 65hz, and that was it. But I noticed in some games I had issues with fragmenting and pixels on screen. So 64hz for me was just fine.

It entirely depends on the monitor model and a bit of manufacturing luck.

There’s also a risk that overclocking may impact performance negatively. Accelerating your refresh rate too much could make your ingame play feel jittery, and ramping up the clock cycle may cause your monitor to degrade faster over time, shortening its lifespan. Plus it could void some warranties.

Some will glitch out and cause issues, yet others will run happily stable at an overclocked setting for years on end without any problem, even improve performance and doesn't affect the lifespan. Some monitors these days are even designed to support an overclocking mode builtin.

So the question should really be: What monitor are you trying to overclock?

Is it good to go past 165 on them ROG ones dont hurt monitor hell I dont trust DSR

The 165hz ROG monitors are factory capable of 165hz but it is 144hz with a factory overclock setting to 165hz. DSR has nothing to do with refresh rate. DSR is not monitor overclocking. it is resolution upscaling

Sometimes when I alt+tab from desktop to fullscreen game or vice versa while monitor is overclocked, this happens

You can't see it very well on the video, but it reminds me of static noise you see when there's no signal on CRT TV, but instead of being white noise it's made out of pixels colors that should be there.

It happens rarely but when it does everything looks like that.
When I switch it back to 60Hz it reverts back to normal and I can overclock it to 68Hz again after few minutes.

Depends on the monitor in question. Not all monitors are able to cope well after an overclock, some may not even overclock at all and permanent damage will occur as a result. You're best bet is to do your research on your particular monitor. And yes, it will degrade the lifespan as you're introducing more heat and power consumption thus killing it slowly over time.

according to Asus's website that panel is 75hz capable..

I have a couple of these laying around...
Asus VE278Q 27" 1920x1080 2ms Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor

And via hdmi, dvi, dp; had no problems getting somewhere around 80-85 hz out of it. But in the end it didn't really help so why bother.
