Help set custom resolution
I am trying to set up a custom resolution on my Omen 16-u0097nr.

It comes default with 2560 x 1600 resolution at 240Hz. (240 or 60hz ,no other option).
I am trying to set it to 2560x1440 144Hz. I need that to plug it into a fuser and overlay a display on my gaming pc monitor.


I have been struggling to do this since it has a few built-in features like multiple displays (auto switch between RTX 4070 and intel GPU).

Any guides on how to achieve a 2560x1440 144Hz and disable the bs built-in multi-display between the RTX and built in gpu? (win 11)

Note, for the purpose of what I am doing, I dont need the 4070 running. I can do it on either the intel built-in gpu or 4070

RE: Help set custom resolution
Are you trying to add a custom resolution to the laptop screen or an external display? How does the fuser work and how is it connected? Laptop screens normally don't support non-native resolutions, so you would need to add 2560x1600 @ 144 Hz and use GPU scaling, but Intel's graphics driver often doesn't allow custom resolutions for laptop screens, so it would only be possible if you can disable the Intel GPU. Check the Intel control center to see if the laptop has a way to disable NVIDIA Optimus switchable graphics.

Fuser works by plugging in hdmi 2.1 cable from Gaming PC GPU, and Hdmi 2.1 from Laptop (2.1 Output), and displays on main pc gaming monitor.

I am trying to get 2560 x 1440. I can disable the intel gpu or the nvidia gpu.
I set a custom resolution of 2560 x 1440 , 144hz when i select it (disabling nvidia gpu and using only intel gpu) the screen is all messed up looking like an old tv signal lol

So I can completely disable the optimus from bios and the integrated wont even show up on device manger, however the issue now is the custom resolutions never show up in nvidia control panel. Only 240 hz or 60 hz.

to add to this, I think I might get it to work if i can find the correct settings of what to input in each field for hz and other parameters for built-in Intel UHD 660 on omen 16-u0097nr laptop (for the display). Because I can select the 144hz, it just shows weird line distortion on screen and then eventually reverts

RE: Help set custom resolution
Does the fuser show up as a separate display? Are you adding the resolution to the laptop screen or the fuser? You can't add 2560x1440 @ 144 Hz to the laptop screen because it doesn't have a scaler, which is why I said to add 2560x1600 @ 144 Hz, but if the fuser is connected via HDMI, then it should show up as a separate display, so that's where you'd want to add the custom resolution.

thanks for the help. I ended up returning the laptop and getting a cheap desktop to use for the fuser. The laptop was too much of a hassle
