    Why cant I get 1366x768 resolution for my hp laptop?


    Hello,

    I've recently encountered a problem with my screen resolution settings. My screen is supposed to be 1366x768 but the max setting i got is only 1024x768? Why? Before this, its there and i used it but then after i changed my hard disk (old one broke) the resolution setting suddenly changed. My screen sorta get stretched, please help...

    Also i cant find the resolution in the "list all modes".

    You need to install the graphics driver, you are using the basic driver from Windows,

    Is this a fresh install? You will probably need more than just that driver too if it is.

    Pick the "Intel High Definition (HD) Graphics Driver"

    You only choose the driver for the graphics adapter you have in your laptop, you don`t go installing all of them.

    This specsheet says you have Intel HD graphics, but we have no clue what specs your laptop actually has, only you do.

    It`s best to let the HP detect software run and choose what drivers you need.

    Then you definitely want the chipset driver too,

    After that, check device manager to see what has a next to it or unknown.

    I wouldn't worry about it then, if you find something doesn't work it may need a driver but if you don't see anything, no need to mess with it.

    You're display is fixed now so unless you have other questions you can mark this solved. :)
