Windows 7 59Hz Problem&Fix

Alright, you might be suffer from stupid 59Hz screen resolution stuck in Windows 7. I'm not sure if Microsoft publish a workaround or fix for this but there is a solution if you use Nvidia Control Center.

Usually 60Hz screen resolution is the default value for many CRT/LCD monitors. In Windows 7 it is 59Hz because of a calculation difference. It is ok if you don't care seeing 59Hz instead of 60Hz. However if you're a gamer this might be a nightmare cause many games doesn't activate VSync below 60Hz. So what you gonna do?

First you need to change your resolution value 1024*768 or below (this is a temp value, not the fix itself, no worries)

Then you need to delete 1920-1200 default settings in Nvidia Control Center, after that create your own with the same values but this time set 60Hz for Refresh rate. Set it as your default screen resolution. That should be fix your problem. However i have to admit sometimes it doesn't fit well and 59Hz value stays. Try the procedure couple of time and it should be ok one of them (i cannot give an exact number, and i know this is silly)

I hope find it usefull
