#1 BenQ XL2420T won't run 60hz in Hardware

I've had the monitor for a year and it has been working fine, but just now while I was browsing the web it randomly stopped working. I've tried updating my GTX 650 TI to the latest driver date, restoring system to a later date to restore possible faulty settings + a few other things, and all has failed.

It says the on the little side-bar built in menu

"Incorrect cable. Please use the DVI dual-link cable that came with your monitor."

Which is weird because I haven't touched the cable since a year ago when I bought it and set it up for 120hz.

Also if I try running on 120hz, this is tough to explain but I can barely read anything the monitor displays. And on 60hz it looks fine when just browsing the web but when I open tf2, it is playable but things still look gimmicky as if I was on a really low res or something. (Which I'm not.)

I feel like the monitor may be breaking, but there is no real reason it should be. Help?

EDIT: I meant to write it won't run 120HZ NOT "won't run 60hz" SORRY.

#11 Getting beather at scout in Mentoring
NoonaIf you are dedicated and motivated to improve and go far in this game, practice alot. Pugs, newbie mixes, dm, mge, etc... However, practice while learning from each of your mistakes made, and attempt not to make the same mistake twice. The more you play, the easier it will come to you.

EDIT: You probably should have kept the first OP, more people would have been inclined to offer advice.

Just to add on to this, there is a difference between quality practice, and quantity practice. And what I mean by this, is you could be playing DM for, let's say four hours mindlessly, with the only thought in your head being "This is going to make me better." That's quantity practice. You obviously don't want this. Quality practice to me is, well it varies, it could vary to playing soldier specifically to understand how other scouts dodge projectiles, what makes them effective against soldiers, understanding soldiers. Understanding other types of aiming, movement, ect. I honestly can't think of anything to add to this, but I hoped I helped a bit.

#9 Thread about ESEA PUGs on the ESEA Forums in TF2 General Discussion
PhraktureIf there's a free pug system why would someone pay for a different pug system that essentially provides the exact same service?

one of the reasons is because most of the people are already premium because they're on teams

also, on a side note it would be very hard to have comfort on your ring finger. i have medium/small hands and it took me about 2 days just to feel find a comfortable place to put my ring finger/get used to the small mouse
