Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

TV resolutions have completely different brightness, contrast, and color compared to PC at least on my monitor. Also, there's a noise on the screen for example images and software with gray backgrounds have noise on TV like the image I sent with the post, but on PC even in custom 48Hz resolution, there's no noise at all. I deleted the 60Hz TV resolution and added a PC one, and the quality was excellent. However, every time I login into Windows, the screen would go black for 5-6 seconds, and it was the same before starting games. I uninstalled the driver with DDU and reinstalled it, and the problem was fixed. Now, I want to know what settings I should use when creating the resolution to avoid this issue.

That's something weird your monitor is doing. The reality is there is no difference between TV and PC resolutions other than the CTA-861 standard saying TVs should use certain timing parameters so there are no compatibility issues with other devices, but PC monitors can use them too. The color format can influence how the monitor processes the image. In the NVIDIA control panel, try changing the color format to RGB and dynamic range to full. That should be equivalent to a PC resolution. If that doesn't help, that means your monitor is messing with the image when receiving a CTA-861 standard resolution. Some TVs and monitors are stupid and treat CTA-861 standard resolutions differently when they shouldn't. I don't understand why manufacturers feel the need to mess with the image and make it worse when they think it's a TV signal. In that case, creating a custom resolution using the CVT-RB standard usually works around the issue. The screen shouldn't go black for 5 seconds when logging in. If that only happens after using CRU, then it's an NVIDIA driver bug. In the past, uninstalling GeForce experience would work around the problem, but I don't know if this is the same issue.

Hi, I have an issue. I tried to create custom refresh rate, because LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga works only on 60hz monitors and on my 165hz it always displayed an error. I configured CRU and the game finally begun to work, but partially - the screen was all black, although I could hear the music. I discovered that all the other games also get blackscreened on startup. Any ideas how to fix this?

Obviously the monitor doesn't support 60 Hz, and the other games are trying to use 60 Hz as well. If this is a laptop screen, 60 Hz might work if the pixel clock is around the same as 165 Hz. You can start by copying the 165 Hz timing parameters, and then change the timing to "Vertical total calculator" and set the refresh rate to 60 Hz.

Everything works! Thank You so much for the help. You deserve the world!

Hello, a question. I have a 1920x1080 165Hz monitor but it has micro tearing on the desktop, browser, etc. I'm using CRU to add the same resolution and refresh rate and using Exact Reduced and I think the tearing is fixed but I'm wondering. Is there any risk in using Exact Reduced permanently? I don't quite understand what it is for and if I should use it for my native resolution at 165hz and so on. Thank you

Hi all! First of all, thank you ToastyX for the amazing tool. It's taken care of me and my LG G1 connected to my PC for years. I'm asking for a bit of guidance in advance of purchase. I'm going to pick up a Sony A95L 4K TV and I'd like to set it up with 21:9 resolution options like I have for my G1. It will be connecting to a Windows 11 PC running a 4090, so retaining its 120Hz refresh rate and HDR are critical.

Unfortunately, it's been so long I don't remember how I did all this and and I assume my profiles for my C1 won't be correct for the Sony. Is there a tutorial out there you'd recommend for correctly creating a given custom resolution (in my case, I'd like to create 3840x1600 and 3840x1646)? If not, would anyone be able to assist? Some of the finer points (like the Detailed resolution timing settings, parameters, and frequency settings as well as the extension block settings and how those vary from one make and model to another). The opening post in the thread was helpful but I still get a bit lost. I've searched long and wide for any A95L owners on earth who have already done this (so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel) but have come up empty (surprising given how long the TV has been on the market).

Thank you!

Hi, i have a 1920x1080 144hz monitor connected with DP cable, and i play CS, VALO mostly , the problem is i have 1920x1080 144hz in detailed resolutions but at the extension block section there is only 1920x1080 120hz and 100hz as native and not 144hz, is this normal?

well i have to mention this is only hapenning with DP and not HDMI i also notice that my gaming performance is better with HDMI cable , less delay and desync!

Why would this be a problem? I don't understand.

Stop thinking so hard and just add the resolution. Even easier, just use this: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa...Editor-SRE
