Monitor resolution I am unable to get native resolution of 1440x900 on lg monitor model no. L194WT-BF (19 inch LCD) Mother board is gigabyte G31 Intel chipset I had updated bios and even drivers for chipset and even monitor I get 1440x900 resolution on motherboard with 945 intel chipset on the same monitor please somebody help solving the problem

Hello Steve,

The most common problem with the L194WT monitors is a failure of the power supply board. There are parts called capacitors that fail and can cause the issue you have. Sometimes the power light will just flash, sometimes it takes several minutes to display a picture or even a wavy picture, all of these issues indicate a failing power supply board. These boards can be repaired if you can do a little soldering. The L194WT uses the same power board as the L196WTQ and we have a step by step repair guide with dis-assembly instructions available at http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/lg-l196wtq-bf-lcd-monitor-repair/ Look over the guide and check your board to see if your capacitors have bulged and need to be replaced.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

This is not a monitor problem.This is a mother board problem, some mother boards are supporting this resolution.For this problem,you have to replace the mother board or put the graphics card on the same mother board.your problem will solve.

Hi!

Installing the video card driver can make use of its features of higher resolution support for your LCD monitor.

And also install the driver of your LCD monitor. This enable to use higher resolution that could provide with your computer video card as I have mentioned above.

Hope it helps..

Thank you for reaching Fixya.

Find your monitor's native resolution, in your case it's 1440x900. Go to display settings (usually right-click on desktop and choose properties), go to settings tab and move the resolution slider until it shows 1440x900. Confirm, the screen should flicker for a moment and adjust - and you should be fine.
If there is no 1440x900 resolution available, then installing a monitor .inf file that came on a disk accompanying the monitor might help.

new driver for your video card is less than a month old and can be downloaded from http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_32bit_186.18_whql.html

Does the video card ,in the second machine, support 1400x900 resolution? I am running dual 7600 video cards and that optional resolution is not available to me. Will it change to any other resolution setting?

I have the same problem. i downloaded a generic driver that allows 1600 X 900 resolution. this is better..things are taller rather than wider (with the 1280X1024 resolution). i dont understand why there isnt a 1440X900 driver available for XP systems.

Most likely the resolution of your desktop has and aspect ratio that in incorrect for your monitor. The native resolution of that monitor if 1440x900. Use the Windows (if using windows) desktop properties to set the desktop resolution to 1440x900.

check and make sure that you are using the Intel drivers and not the default windows xp drivers. The default drivers are very limited and only offer a few different resolutions to choose from.
