My laptop (Asus X200-CA) connected to an LG 27GL650 monitor is being identified as “Goldstar Company Ltd. 24”! The monitor is being driven at only 60Hz maximum (through HDMI), when it actually supports 144Hz! The monitor works fine at the advertised frequency with other Windows 10 machines that I use it with.
Is it possible to change any configuration to effect the refresh rate the monitor is actually capable of?
I can create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf file and feed identification, but I don’t know how to fix the refresh rate.

Searched around in the forums, but links of interest report a " Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private." error (Manjaro’s forum is not allowing to include links).
Would be great if anyone can help with the issue. Thanks in advance.
Note: Am new to the Manjaro forum. Since there’s no monitor category, I chose ‘Graphics Cards & HDPI’. If this requires to be moved elsewhere, please let me know.
