Resolution Issue In Windows 7
Hi All
Not sure where to post this so I thought I would put it here and see if anyone can shed any light on the issue.
I am using a 32" HDTV for display on a 9600GT card DVI-VGA connection.
Windows 7 detects my monitor as a generic plug and play monitor and says it has a native res of 1280x1024 and wants to run in that format. It strechs the image to full screen if this monitor is the primary display. If it is secondary display the I get black bars top and bottom and image is distorted even more to to streching and squishing.
I have tried no driver, the driver that was current at the time I installed windows 7 and the latest one as of yesterday. None of them will work properly on this system.
If I change the settings to a wide screen format like say 1280x768 [this works fine under xp, win 2k and vista] in Win7 I get black bar top and bottom like it was running on a 4x3 display and picture is distorted and on top of that with the latest drivers it only gives me 60hz to choose as a refresh rate which my monitor does not like. I run 1024x768 75hz under XP, Vista and Win2K all work well Also can run 1024x720 on all 3 of them but nothing seems to give the proper result under windows 7.
The monitor is a 32" RCA HDTV 1080i
9600GT video card
AMD PII 955 processor
Windows 7 x86 Ultimate
Also tried Windows 7 X64 Pro same result.
So far have not tried it on a different box but this is really bugging me. I need to get a wide screen res working on this montior under win 7 ASAP.
Any ideas?
