How new is this laptop?
If a laptop cannot do a feature it's supposed to have and it's so new, just return it to the store as it's a doa
Any laptop that advertises a given screen refresh rate is expected to just work

How new is this laptop?
3yrs old
it was good
recently the display screen started flickering
today i changed to 60 and it is fine

recently the display screen started flickering
Using custom resolution utility, see if it flickers at 120
If no, try a custom refresh and slowly increase it until 143 or when it flickers, whichever happens first

Did you do anything that might be relevant to the display flickering?
prime sky
is there a tutorial or something

i contacted rog authorised service center yesterday with my lap they said to change the display which costs around 100usd. I on my own did some try to fix and figured out 60hz is fine

Honestly I'd take that offer. Your display is not working correctly, and a normal external 144hz monitor costs more than that
It's fair for an out of warranty repair.

im wondering if display is gone how is 60hz working fine?
I am from India cant really trust the service center their ultimate goal is to make money

Because 60Hz is not the limit the display actually is (144hz)
Or think of it this way.
warped kestrel
so i cant use it on 60hz?
prime sky

You can, but you are missing out on 144Hz
To us, this is a defect
Since it no longer works at the speed it should be at
prime sky
If repair/replacement is still an option, I'd still consider it.
prime sky
so no fix for this otherthan changing display?
"Workarounds" not fixes if you do not get replacement hardware for it yes
warped kestrel
im just wondering if i can use for a yr or 2 and buy a new one
prime sky
Since you are just avoiding the broken mode
prime sky

Yes if you don't care about 144hz
warped kestrel
ok thanks
prime sky
What's the specs of the rest of the laptop?
prime sky
In this case, I'd just leave the laptop as is and not replace the panel, and stick to 60Hz for the rest of the laptop's useful life. The hardware isn't really fast enough to run most games that would actually need 16GB of RAM
prime sky
But still, 16GB may help if you find yourself consistently at 90%+ RAM usage
warped kestrel
hmm
i dont think i wud play games much, as of now I am entering my clg life and i will use my lap for educational purpose
on that basis 60hz is fair enough?
prime sky
Alright.
And yes.
