So after they changed how refresh rates and fps can be limited, I can now set my rate to 15-30 fps in small steps and 40-60 fps in small steps (LCD, so no 90). But why can’t I use 30-40 fps? I’d like to go with 35 to be a bit above 30 but still close in battery life. Is there a technical reason or did they just decide nobody would want to do that? And is there a way around it?

Additionally: Sometimes when I move from >40fps to <30fps, the screen goes dark for a split second. Is that because of the “big” step between the two settings or does the screen move to a different mode, and that’s why we can’t have an inbetween?

    Thank you! I still can only go as low as 40 refresh rate and set the fps to full/half/quarter of the rate, so 35 fps is still impossible to reach. It’s either 40-60 fps at full or 20-30 fps at half or 10-15 at quarter fps, so the same limits as before apply.

    It seems I misremember being able to do this with the old settings, and it’s just a physical limitation of the screen. But I feel much better about it now, knowing it’s not something that was possible before but isn’t now.
