I made a test with 75Hz and it was fine, but with 59.637 all I was presented with was the default 60Hz modeline (the one at the top stack). I also fear that they will be listed rounded to 60Hz unable to know which is which.

Also, is there a more streamlined way to switch modes? Either registry, command line, etc than going to the display settings each time? Maybe checking registry changes with RegShot.

By the way for a smart tv do you recommend not touching the blanking (use LCD standard) ?

Windows lists refresh rates as integers, so 59.637 Hz would be listed as 60 Hz. Windows doesn't have a way to have multiple 60 Hz refresh rates at the same resolution, but you can have different resolutions with a different fractional refresh rate. For example, you can have 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz and 1918x1080 @ 59.637 Hz. Then you can easily switch using a program like HotKey Resolution Changer. The blanking doesn't matter as long as the resolution works.

One of the features I'm thinking about adding eventually is the ability to export an .exe file that switches EDID overrides. Right now, the only way to achieve that is to make a batch file that loads the .reg file you want and then run restart.exe -q.

EDID overrides are stored in the registry here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY\(Display ID)\(Instance ID)\Device Parameters\EDID_OVERRIDE
