Why can't I get above 60hz using tv as monitor?

[PerryMcG]

Hey, so I recently purchased a new tv and i noticed when messing about in my resolutions that it wont allow me to put it above 60hz on my pc.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/televisions/flat-tvs/UE40H6400AKXXU
Here is a list of specs.
Also It said on the manufacturers page that the resolution is 1920x1080 and when I was setting screen to fit properly it had to be at 1842x1026.
I know a little about pcs but nothing to do with tvs so I was wondering if u guys could help.
Thanks

That i Guess is a hardware limitation from your graphics card.
Almost all modern video cards and motherboards will be dual link.
"
Unless otherwise noted, the following are currently the most common maximum resolutions for DVI sorted by manufacturer:

AMD (Motherboard & GPU): 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz
Intel (Motherboard): 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz
NVIDIA (GPU): 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz"

Are you meaning its bcos i use hdmi connection? im using a gtx 770 gpu and i get above like 100 fps on some games so im trying to get higher refresh rate to make use of this. i think my tvs refresh rate is 200 so is it my graphics card stopping me ? or the fact im not using dvi cable? sorry for being such an idiot with all this its really not my department

Unless the screen has a refresh rate of over 60 Hz, it simply won't be able to display more the 60 FPS. (60Hz goes up to 60 FPS, 144Hz goes up to 144 FPS)
If you're using HDMI/DVI you *should* be able to display up to, and maybe over 144 FPS.
Checking your games to make sure they haven't got a FPS limit would be beneficial too. (Often under Advanced video settings

make sure in the samsung tv settings you have it set to "screen fit", not "widescreen" or "16x9". play around with that size setting in the samsung menu, you likely are over scanning due to settings. that is why not getting the full 1080p. rest assured, your panel is exactly 1920x1080, no if and or buts.

as far as 60hz... all hdtvs are 60hz panels. if it claims it is 120hz or 240hz, its getting there by interpolation and is done internally by the tv.

"some" 3d tvs will accept a native 120hz input from a computer since their pixel clocks are high enough, though it is undocumented. also it is possible to "overclock" an hdtv, though this is unreliable.
