My program Custom Resolution Utility will show you what's in the EDID. You need an AMD or NVIDIA GPU to read the extension block. "Out of range" is the monitor telling you it doesn't support the resolution, so unfortunately I don't think 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz is possible with that monitor when using...
The monitor's EDID does not include 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz with HDMI, so the monitor might not support it. What GPU do you have, and what happens if you create a custom resolution?
That's not true. The HDMI 1.4 standard allows up to 340 MHz pixel clock, and any GPU that supports 4K @ 30 Hz with HDMI...
DDR4 RAM can pass tests most of the time and still be bad. If you have two sticks, try one stick at a time and use the computer normally. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the sticks if bad.
The problem is Lagom's images have embedded sRGB profiles, and sRGB uses linear gamma for the darkest shades (it's not 2.2). Chrome displays sRGB images correctly if your monitor is calibrated and assigned the proper color profile. Lagom has the images without color profiles embedded here...
Make sure to set the refresh rate to 75 Hz before running the demo. FreeSync is capped at whatever the current refresh rate is, so if the refresh rate is set to 60 Hz, you will be limited to 48-60 Hz. If you can't set the refresh rate to 75 Hz with the adapters, try my pixel clock patch...
Make sure the fps is within the FreeSync range. You can set a custom fps range in the demo. The SE2717H is only 48-75 Hz, so it doesn't even support LFC to handle less than 48 fps.
The Pendulum demo works with FreeSync. The demo doesn't have an option for FreeSync, but FreeSync will work if it's enabled in Radeon Settings. If FreeSync is working, there won't be any tearing with "No VSync" selected. This is more noticeable with the bars test pattern.
The $10 Monoprice adapter is definitely not dual-link. It only happens to work at 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz with some monitors that accept out of spec single-link DVI signals.
This one should work at 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz with dual-link DVI...
Make sure to include the range limits using the "Edit..." button at the top. You can also edit the FreeSync range that way.
CRU 1.2.5 now includes the range limits by default if the min/max horizontal values match and certain conditions required for FreeSync are met in the default EDID...
Does the text look like this?
That would mean the monitor is only receiving one of the links in a dual-link signal. That can happen if you're using a single-link DVI cable, but you said the same cable and video cards work with the ZR30W, so the Z30i might be defective. This would not be...
A splitter would just send the same signal to both monitors. My driver patch will allow 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz to work over single-link DVI and HDMI if the monitor can handle that: http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
This is a really old thread. The original fix just disables the extension block. This is easy to do now with CRU.

Simply choose "Custom extension block" and click OK. Then reboot and it should be fixed.
I got this monitor yesterday. It's not overclockable at all. It skips frames at anything higher than 60 Hz on all inputs and has one frame of lag at 60 Hz.
I'm working on a review, but it's not complete. You can see the frame skipping and lag results here...
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere in the advanced menu that causes the EDID to change. I think it was the HDCP option.
I just found the thread where I replied to someone having the same exact issue: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1638864
You said the display is not properly rendering text/images, but the only example you showed is one site displaying a different icon, which is obviously not a monitor issue. The site is probably just choosing the icon based on the screen resolution. What rendering problems are you having?
With NVIDIA, yes. With AMD, no. AMD uses a higher precision lookup table and temporal dithering to emulate more shades, which is why you don't see any banding.
That depends on the monitor. Some monitors also do temporal dithering, while others will just duplicate shades and cause banding. If...
The setting in Catalyst Control Center doesn't mean anything. If you were to get a color calibration device and calibrate both monitors to 6500K, they would look closer to the BenQ. If you were to calibrate them to 9300K, they would look closer to the laptop panel. You would have to reduce the...
You should be able to use HDMI with a 2560x1440 monitor at 60 Hz with my driver patch: http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-NVIDIA-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
It should be the opposite. The "LCD reduced" option in CRU should work with more monitors at 70-77 Hz than the automatic option in the NVIDIA control panel.
NVIDIA's automatic option is not the same as the automatic options in CRU. If anything, it's more like CRU's manual option because it...
Chances are the monitor is reporting the correct resolution and that the video card is scaling. The video driver will always add certain resolutions like 1680x1050 even if it's not listed in the monitor's EDID, and the video card will scale any resolutions that aren't listed in the EDID to the...
I will include options to change the modifiers in the next beta release, but I want to know if there are more sensible defaults. What do you suggest?
Alt+Shift doesn't work with the numpad, and I found myself suddenly typing foreign characters until I figured out Alt+Shift switches between...
LCDs don't flicker from the refresh rate, but the PWM might be tied to a multiple of the refresh rate. I think the Dell U2311H does 180 Hz PWM at 60 Hz, so it might do 225 Hz PWM at 75 Hz.
Yes, it's normal. The lines are actually still there at 60 Hz, just very faint. The same thing happens with the Catleap/Tempest OC monitors.
I have a program that counteracts the lines on the desktop: http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Deliner
