No 1440X900 Resolution Option in Dis...




By sgills on Jan 24, 2009

I recently purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 933BW 19'' LCD Monitor. It says the recommended resolution is 1440x900, but that option does not show up in the Display Settings. In fact, was does show up are settings smaller & larger, skipping over 1440x900 from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200. The two settings are either too small, or too large, making everything look awkward. I was prompted to install a new monitor driver, SyncMaster 933BW/933GW SyncMaster Magic CX933BW/CX933GW (Analog), and I did - but the settings still do not show up. Any suggestions?

- Windows XP

- That seems easy enough - thanks. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take the check from the box as the entire section is in gray. Do I have to change another setting to allow for me to alter that section?

- I actually restarted my computer and *was* able to un-check the box upon rebooting it, but it still did not enable me to get 1440x900, however, the 1280x1024 and higher came back (but 1440x900) did not show. I also tried removing the monitor to no avail. =[

Windoze is not detecting the monitor correctly. Right click the desktop as you had before to get to the display settings. Click the "advanced" button at the lower right, on the next window, click the "Monitor" tab, and remove the check from the box from "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display". That should add to the settings the 1400 X 900 resolution you are looking for.

- Ok, another approach, go to the device manager and remove the monitor. See if it detects it correctly upon reboot.

- The limitation then must then fall on your display adaptor. Check that manufacturer's website for a newer driver.
