Can my HD 6530D graphics card handle my new Philips B272B monitor?
Hello everyone
I just got meself a QHD monitor, the Philips 272B8QJEB/00 monitor. It's a 27" monitor with a native resolution of 2560 × 1440 @ 60 Hz. My computer is an Acer Aspire X3470, i.e. it has an HD 6530D graphic card.
I've installed the drivers for the monitor but it displays only 1920 x 1080 via the HDMI 1.4 cable. I'm trying to figure out where the problem lies. Is my graphic card capable of displaying this resolution at all? I can't find that information anywhere.
Both the monitor and my computer has a VGA port as well, but with I get the same results, even after a reboot -- the "recommended" screen resolution according to the Windows control panel remains 1920 x 1080. (The monitor also has DVI and DisplayPort, but my computer doesn't -- but I'm not sure if that is even relevant to my question.)
I have Windows 7 HP 64-bit.
Thanks
Samuel
