Got an 'Out of Range' message on your monitor while booting up CS:GO? It's likely because your game is trying to run at a resolution or refresh rate that your monitor can't handle. Quick fix: try launching CS:GO with launch options. Right-click CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Set Launch Options,' and type '-w 1920 -h 1080' to set the game to run at 1920x1080. Adjust the numbers to match your monitor's native resolution. If that doesn’t work, you might need to edit your config.cfg file in the CS:GO folder to manually set the resolution.

Dude, just change the game's resolution to what your monitor can handle. If you're stuck and can't get into the game, edit the video settings file in your CS:GO folder. Look for 'video.txt' and change the settings there.

Honestly, just play with the monitor you got, no need to mess around with settings too much. Most of the time, you won't notice the difference once you're in the game and the adrenaline kicks in.
