My laptop's display, driven by an Intel HD 4600 GPU supports refresh rates of 40 and 60Hz. I'd like to set a custom 48Hz display mode for watching movies, but the Intel Graphics control panel is not letting me do it. When I try to add a custom resolution, I get an error "bandwidth exceeded" if the refresh rate is not exactly 40Hz or 60Hz, even though there is enough bandwidth to display 1080p@60Hz, obviously, and 1080p@48Hz should require less. Anyone know how to either trick the software into letting me add the refresh rate, manually add refresh rates by editing the registry or configuration files?

Are you using Intel's Custom Mode tool (http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029478.htm)?

Yes, that is what I am trying to use.
