    Stuck at 1280 x 1024 Resolution


    Hello Folks

    Im trying to reach 1920 x 1080 resolution again, as before I was using Windows XP I was able to do this and it was fantastic.

    Recently ive switched OS to Windows 7(64 bit) All in all im very impressed with this OS except for this issue.

    Ive searched and searched for a solution to my problem, I'm about to give up but i thought id give it one last shot and express my problem in as much detail as I can.

    CPU - AMD Athlon64 4000+
    GPU - GeForce GTS 250 1gb
    Screen - 26" LG HDTV - Model NO: 26LG3050
    DVI connection

    Adapter Information

    Chip Type: GeForce GTS 250
    Dac Type: Integrated RAMDAM
    Bios Information: Version 62.92.7d.0.20

    The highest Resolution I can see in the settings is 1600 x 1200 (this doesnt look nice )

    So i'm having to stick at 1280 x 1024.

    1920 x 1080 res is reachable with my monitor, but I have ran out of ideas on how to adress this issue, i dont know if its a driver issue or Windows 7, though the problem accured only after i had installed Windows 7

    Hope the General Discussion boards doesnt mind me posting this topic here, i couldnt see a better suited place.

    Thanks for reading & any feedback is overwhelmly welcome

    Kind Regards

    Edit - Im running the latest drivers from nvidia - 191.07

    To get to where you want to reduce the font size, just type in font into the searchbox and it will be at the top of the menu. Font, click it and at the top left, Change Font size.

    Hi, the specs for you screen mention only 1366 x 768 are you sure you could reach 1920 x 1080 before.

    Try making a custom resolution in the nVidia control panel, I can't think of anything else. You can find the nVidia control panel in the Windows control panel (gee, never thought of searching for it there )

    Edit - According to the specs, he shouldn't have been able to use 1920x1080 in XP as well.
