I want to switch to display mode on the XL2411Z so I want to switch from 144hz to 120hz so I can use the display scaling option. when i have 144hz i can only use gpu scaling


1. I go to display-->change resolution and change the refresh rate to 120hz and it works
2. then i go to display-->adjust desktop size and position and change the refresh rate to 120hz, when i do that, it automatically refreshes the screen for a split second and it switches back to 144hz there
3. even though my monitor is running at 120hz in "change resolution", it still says it is 144hz in "adjust desktop size and position" therefore i cannot switch to display scaling on nvidia

how would i switch to 120hz in adjust desktop size and position? it keeps going back to 144hz there. thanks!
