Adding a 60Hz display mode
On some units with a high refresh rate display, namely the 2021 Legion 5 non Pro, for some reason 60Hz display mode is missing. This can affect your battery life when not on a charger.
But there is a way to add it back.
- Official guide available here https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU
- Install CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) https://www.monitortests.com/download/cru/cru-1.5.1.zip)
- Create a new 60Hz Profile by useing “Add…” button in the detailed resolutions of the app, then restart for the changes to apply
- Map a hotkey https://funk.eu/hrc/
- From the 2 profile’s in HRU, set the 2nd one as 60hz using the drop down list near it, then set a hotkey for both. (not possible to set the same hotkey for both, or the fn key)
- ctrl+1 for 120hz (which is my native, it will work with your 165hz too) and ctrl+2 for 60hz.
