It says the native is 1920x1080, not 60 Hz. I don't see why that's a problem.

Hi, ToastyX, thanks for answering!

The problem is that when I change to 144Hz, Windows details get very weird. Fonts get dizzy and Windows icons (maximize, minimize). All sites in all browsers get weird fonts and details. You would think that this is Windows Clear Type, but it's not. My Clear Type is on. When I try to get a printscreen to show it to you, surprise! The print is ok! So I was forced to take pictures with my phone.

See:

Can you spot the difference?

That has nothing to do with the native designation. There's something wrong with the monitor. Try unplugging the monitor's power for a minute and see if that resets it.

Thanks ToastyX, but it was the first thing I did, and I do this every day since it began, and it doest not reset. Is there a button in the back of the monitor where I can reset the EPROM?

And what about this? BAD_EDID in my Windows Registry, could this be reason of the problem?

No, if the EDID were bad, you wouldn't get 144 Hz at all. Did you reset the monitor?

I tried unplugging, but nothing changed.

If by "reset the monitor" you mean the option in the monitor's menu, yes, I did it already, and - surprise! - nothing changes.

No, I said unplug the monitor's power for a minute.

Yes, like I said, I do this every day, for one minute, or five minutes, and nothing changes. I think I lost my monitor Sad

Try a different DisplayPort cable. If your GPU has dual-link DVI, try that.
