So after they changed how refresh rates and fps can be limited, I can now set my rate to 15-30 fps in small steps and 40-60 fps in small steps (LCD, so no 90). But why can’t I use 30-40 fps? I’d like to go with 35 to be a bit above 30 but still close in battery life. Is there a technical reason or did they just decide nobody would want to do that? And is there a way around it?

Additionally: Sometimes when I move from >40fps to <30fps, the screen goes dark for a split second. Is that because of the “big” step between the two settings or does the screen move to a different mode, and that’s why we can’t have an inbetween?

    Because the slider is combined now, and there’s no FPS you can use between 30-40, where the LCD screen can be set to a compatible refresh rate. From 15-30, you can frame double, triple, or even quadruple, and hit a refresh within the range of 40-60 that the screen can be set to, and obviously from 40-60, the refresh can be just set to the same. You shouldn’t be using anything between 30 and 40, regardless, if they let you, because you’d just get stutter or tear.
