Vista native screen resolution

Which video card do you have? NVIDIA cards have extensive options for custom resolutions, where you can specify all of the details and get it to work again. The workaround with the cable and installing the newest drivers from AMD Again: Thanks!! Thanks for this post! I have three monitors between two computers. The middle screen is the extended desktop for computer 1 AND the main desktop for computer 2. By pulling out pin 12 in the monitor's VGA cable, I successfully use a KVM switcher to change the middle monitor between the two with no problems.

Computer 1 is Windows XP and computer 2 is Windows 7. It works like a charm! Thanks so much for this tip! Karthikeyan A. Thanks for this wonderful information! When I switch KVM to laptop, the display used to go off frequently accompanied with annoying sound, resolution warning, et. Now the problems are gone! Charleston Sityar. This helped me a lot. Took me min. And hell yeah! After that, plugged the monitor in then the "Over Frequency" problem was gone.

Thx for this! What would be the reason for that? IIRC for the same thing: overriding some signal wiring in the cable Mod edit: fixed links. If the cable is permanently attached and you don't want to risk messing it up, buy one of these 1.

Thanks for the tutorial, but I have a BIG problem with it! My resolution was working fine before, but I did this hack anyway to work around a KVM switch problem, and many forums suggested this would help. Both my video card and screen support x, but when running Windows 7 I can only go up to x, and when running Ubuntu One computer can fix the issue on Windows 7 by using the nvidia driver to force it to x, but the other one has a S3 graphics card.

It worked before, but after restarting the computer I can't get back to x On Linux, play around with xorg. It's acting this way because it does not have a valid EDID to base its settings on since we intentionally disabled it. Linux especially seems to have issues in this regard. I stumbled upon this when trying to get my pre-historic a7nvm system up and running. Howver, I'm currently writing this in a x 60Hz resolution. I got this when I selected the model via 'displayconfig-gtk', selected it and voila!

Wanted to verify the ramifications and here I'm on this site reading your article and getting some sense of security. This is awesome! I was able to run a 17 Inch CRT at much higher rez then what was supported. I suggest you do this with a Patch cable so you don't wreck your monitor. Worked perfectly : I can now go up to x and set the refresh rate to 60Hz.

I'm quite suprised how good the picture looks and how many image tweaking settings it has. Hi i have a hp p crt monitor. However, when i tried to use powerstrip, it goes out of sync. If i use the pin removal and make my own driver to bypass edid, is it possible to not get out of frequency using this resolution? Or is it just simply impossible? Try using PowerStrip to go progressively higher with refresh rates, starting at the official maximum for that monitor of Hz.

It's the vertical refresh rate that you can adjust in Windows. The pin removal mod will help you only in the situation that Windows screws around with your settings and sends the wrong mode to the monitor despite the correct mode being selected -- if your monitor is displaying "Out of Range", it's most likely the monitor that doesn't support it. William Wow, William, this is great!!! Worked like a charm!!!

Almost gave up, I was so frustrated nnot having a solution and already thinkin' to buy another LCD monitor! Thanks to you, my bw, is up and runnin' like new or like it supposed to run, normally. MadK9 I'm gonna try nokkin method also on my CRT screen, seems simple method and efficient apparently Without you guys Saved my a bunch!!! Is there any way to disable email notifications? My posted problem was solved by the new AMD drivers I have i7 with win7 x64 pc. Altering the cable did change nothing at all.

I have 50' HDTV connected to it with the highest resolution x But in the windows the maxim8um i can chose is x and x The pin is removed completely.

Strange I know but thats the bottom line. How can i get my Dell pc to output that screen res? I had a play in Powerstrip but to no avail. Am i in limbo? Windows XP onwards will prevent you from selecting anything lower than x There is no a word on this subject. In Windows 95 the virtual screen pan and scan virtual desktop is possible. The desktop resolution can exceed the monitor maximum resolution and the maximum resolution generated by a graphic card, while the monitor can work on any of supported resolutions.

This was removed from windows 98 in order to make users buying more high resolution, expensive monitors, and partly returned in windows XP due to laptops. However in XP the desktop size can not exceed the graphic card ramdac ability and screen must work on its highest resolution. But the ability is present in any VGA compatible graphic card.

So, in any system the virtual screen would be possible. Leave a comment. Enter your comment below. If you want to share code, please use the [code] tag.

In reply to Nithyananda J's post on November 7, I installed all of the automatic updates available so far and windows says the recommended drivers are up to date when I have it search. I tried looking manually for drivers myself last night as well, but didn't really know what to look for and couldn't find anything. Mike Hall In reply to BrendenKeene's post on November 7, Prepare to return to the original operating system if you want better graphics..

In reply to Mike Hall That kinda blows but thanks for looking into it! In reply to BrendenKeene's post on November 9, I suggest looking around I have an Asus Eee PC netbook whose resolution originally wouldn't allow me to even open Windows 8 apps I googled about it and found a post where people had used intel drivers for a different PC and thanks to that my netbook is now capable of running Windows 8 apps.

Don't give up hope yet there are a lot of creative people online who find their way around obstacles that present themselves. In reply to DOS76's post on November 9, Thank you for posting this.

I actually did find a solution. In reply to BrendenKeene's post on November 14, For example, while a inch computer monitor can change too many different resolutions, most should be set to x pixels. The resolutions available in this menu are based on the capabilities of your monitor and the GPU graphics processing unit in your computer. If more than one monitor is connected to the computer, each is displayed next to the "Detect" and "Identify" buttons.

As you increase the resolution , the overall picture gets smaller. However, the image quality improves because there are more pixels shown on the screen. A resolution of x is going to appear much larger and have poorer image quality than a resolution of x Documentation: You may also determine the native resolution of your computer monitor by looking at its specifications online or in the provided user manual.

All LCDs liquid crystal displays have a set number of pixels and cannot change for a different incoming signal. They must use scaling techniques to make an image with a non-native resolution fit the screen.
