How do I change refresh rate of my monitor to more than 60 Hz?

[KRole]

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out how to set the refresh rate of my external monitor to 144 Hz. All options that I see are 59p and 60p and nothing else.

The monitor supports 144Hz at 2560x1440 resolution and is connected to my laptop with Intel HD 620 graphics via HDMI 2.0 with more than 18 Gbs bandwith.

The Intel Control Panel for Intel Graphics won't allow me to change it manually even though it says that one of the supported mode is as I mentioned before: 2560x1440 at 144 Hz.

I hope there is a solution for it.

1. Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU)

• Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".

Please generate the following report with the monitor connected:

1. What is the model of the monitor?
2. How is the monitor connected? is it straight connected with a single cable that has the same connection type in both ends? is there any adapter in the middle?
3. Are you using an HDMI cable 2.0 certified?
