There's a variety of ways to tell your software how fast your monitor can be refreshed, but the best we've seen is the mode-selection utility that's shipped with the Elsa Winner adapters. The Winner 1000VL board lets you choose the refresh rate via a Windows control panel and then conducts a test to make sure your choice will work. An incorrect setting causes the screen to flash for a few seconds and then revert to the previous setting, allowing you to try another selection. Other products force you to restart Windows, making it difficult to reset your video settings using the control panel if you've made an incorrect selection.
