Display Refresh Rate Questions

[Skeet1983]

Hi guys. I have been trying to get Kotor 1 to run in fullscreen on my laptop. In game, I am unable to select any resolution under graphics settings and game runs in a window. My laptop has a refresh rate at 120hz and native resolution of 1920*1080. On Steam, I looked at this Discussion Thread (https://steamcommunity.com/app/32370/discussions/0/540741131005647980/) and someone got it to work by dropping refresh rate to 60hz. With Nvidia Control Panel, I was able to add an unsupported 60hz refresh rate, but am worried it could damage my display. Since I am using a laptop, I have no way of replacing display if it gets damaged. My question is, how can I tell if 60hz will damage my 120hz display or not? Thoughts and help greatly appreciated

A lower refresh rate cannot damage your display. All that changes is that the GPU of your laptop will render images at 60 Hz, your monitor will still show you 120 FPS, i.e. there are always two identical frames shown on the monitor. The same thing happens when you play a game where your GPU cannot handle 120 FPS and thus will render less frames per second. So yeah, don't worry about that and good luck in getting it to work.
