Monitor resolution issue

[TakeMeAsIAm]

I have a samsung sync master 2043 nw monitor on an amd r7 250 2gb ddr5 128 bit video card. I checked the monitor's specs and the horizontal and veritcal resolutions are 1680 and 1050. For some reasons I can't set the monitor resolution or ingame resolution higher than 1248x1024. I have all the drivers installed and up to date

Any solutions?
Thank you!

You have the drive installed from here as well? 2043NWX (LS20MYNKF/EDC) | Support | SAMSUNG Gulf

that driver is for the nwx version. Does it work for nw?

When googling your model it shows your model/nwx everywhere so I think your model is a region specific sku and as such is the same internals. Just uninstall it if you have issues but from my research its worth a shot for it to understand your native res.

Just uninstall what? Sorry for my incompetency, but I am a super noob at computers

And one more thing. When I disable "only display modes that your computer can display", from 1248x1024 60 hz it gives me the extra option of 1920x1024 30 hz. Does this info help?

I installed the driver and no changes. Anything else I can do?

You might be able to force that resolution in CCC (Catalyst Control Center) AMD's driver in the custom resolution area, I don't know if it works for VGA though. Can you post a picture of the CCC you have installed, and your device manger please?

Hope that this is what you asked for

Yeah that's it, pick new then only change the stuff in base mode and put 1680x1050 and 60hz and hit apply and see if your monitor says its out of range or not. It should bring up a window that says if you cant see this screen it will revert in like ten seconds or something to that effect. EDIT: wait, the triangle on your monitor driver in device manger if you right click and hit properties what does it say is wrong with it?

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

are you sure that if I pick that resolution it will give me the option to revert back?

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

are you sure that it will give me the option to revert back if the resolution can't be displayed? I don't wanna **** my monitor

 

[rvcjew]

are you sure that if I pick that resolution it will give me the option to revert back?

yes if you hit nothing when that window pops up it will go back if you don't click any of the buttons on that prompt. (Go to 4:03 in the video)

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

are you sure that I will have the option to revert back if the resolution can't be displayed?

 

[rvcjew]

yes that's what that window is for. once it trys to come up if you just see balc are a screen on your monitor that says tis out of phase just sit tight and wait and it will revert.

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

Sorry for posting the same thing 3 times, but I didn't see that there is page 2. I can't set 1680x1050. It's not displayble

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

Any other possible solutions?

 

[rvcjew]

Not displayable, it tries to do it then your monitor just goes black and reverts?

 

[TakeMeAsIAm]

No. It just says in the right bottom corner that it can't display it, or something like this and the options turn grey. No resolution change takes place

By grey I mean not editable again until i hit new again
