    It just doesn't give any option for setting it to 2560x1440. What am I doing wrong?

    Are you still running the GTS250 card you have in your specs here? The card is pretty old and I think I have a vague recollection of running the same cards myself and HDMI would only do 1080, DVI was fine though - try a DVI if you have one.

    It is an old card, yes, but the specs show it being capable of running the monitor at full resolution. I don't know if I have a DVI cable, will have to root around for one...

    That's weird that your monitor controls are showing 1920x1080 max. Just to be precise about what hardware you have, can you do start > run > wmic PATH Win32_videocontroller GET pnpdeviceid |clip > press enter, then do a right-click paste into a reply to this post. That will tell us your graphics adapter hardware device ID.

    While you are at it, you might also do start > run > cmd > press enter > dumpedid. You will have to put dumpedid in your path, I put mine in my c:\windows folder. You get it here

    DumpEDID - Dump EDID information

    It will tell you everything that windows sees about your monitor. Too much info to post here, but it will show resolutions and other info

    Changed the HDMI for a DVI cable. All sorted now. Thank you to all those that replied!
