I'm currently using two monitors and a TV connected to my PC. I recently switched to a new TV and since switching I can't get my primary monitor to run 144 or 120hz.
This has not been an issue before. Whenever I'm changing the refresh rate to 144 or 120hz, it resets itself back to 60hz. Does anyone know what I can do?
The monitor I'm experiencing issues with is the Samsung Odyssey LC24RG50, the TV is also from Samsung.
 
so without the TV connected, both monitors work fine?
and with the TV connected, it works at 60Hz but not any higher?

I found a solution.
One of the monitors are connected via HDMI, and the other one with a display port cable.
When I had the issue, my primary monitor was connected with the HDMI cable. I switched the two cables,
so my primary monitor now has the display port cable, and now I have no issues, both of my monitors can use 144hz.
Still weird though, since it hasn't been a problem before.
