W17e says "input not supported"

Hi - here's what I found about your wide screen monitor:

The HP Pavilion w17e LCD wide-screen monitor has the following features:

• 1440 x 900 factory-set resolution
• Supports VGA analog signal video input
• Plug and play capability, if supported by your computer system
• On-screen display (OSD) adjustments for ease of setup and screen optimization
• Energy Star compliant

Download & install the drivers for the monitor based on the version of Windows you are running from the HP site below:

Once the drivers are installed, your issues should be resolved - the driver will allow only the modes that can be displayed on the monitor - probably giving you options for resolutions you hadn't seen before.

Probably your video card driver is out of date or not installed. Install the driver provided by the manufacturer or get it at your manufacturer's website. Also When changing to other screen resolution the frequency should be compatible. Try changing the frequency of your screen when it is in 1280x1080 to 60Htz then increase it slowly to see what frequency is compatible with that resolution.
