Screen resolution problem

[pasuli]

Hello!

I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. My graphics card is geforce 8800gts 320mb and my screen is hyundai imagequest L72D. My screen does support 1280x1024 but 7 gives only the options of 800x600 and 1024x768. I've installed the latest nvidia drivers for that card also. 7 shows my screen as PD421 analog. Dunno why. I'd like to get that 1280x1024 resolution to use because I don't like this 1024x768. I used Windows XP before and in XP I can use that resolution.

Please someone help.

Have you re-run the windows experience index (WEI)?

Yes, I ran it, but no help. :/

Install the monitor driver. Connect via DVI-DVI. Reinstall the nvidia drivers (they maybe didn't install)

Did you check in Device Manager to see if the drivers installed properly?

I had a couple of odd behaviors with NVidia drivers when I first set up this system but eventually I re-discovered the old trick of uninstalling the video card in Device Manager and letting Windows re-install the drivers... that got it working for me.

Also you should check what the monitor's native resolution is. That's where you will get the best focus and color balance.

This monitor supports only 1024x768 on dvi. Dunno why that's so. I'll try to reinstall nvidia drivers.

Didn't help. I think the problem is that Windows regonizes this monitor as PD421 analog. When unistalled the drivers and let Windows install those again, I had the option 1280x1024 before restarting the computer. After restart it showd the monitor again as PD421 analog.

And the native resolution is 1280x1024.

This monitor accepts both analogue (VGA) and Digital (DVI-D) signals. Make sure you are using the 24pin DVI-D cable. Go into the monitors On Screen settings and make sure Input Select is set to Digital TMDS/24pin DVI-D Digital. Set refrash rate to 60Hz first, then try and select 1280x1024.

As I said before, the DVI supports only 1024x768 resolution, so there's no help from it.

I know. Just trying to help.
Have you got anything else attached. The PD421 is a Plasma HDTV connected via Analogue VGA.

With USB mouse, Printer and HSDP 3G modem. Keyboard on PS/2 and speakers. Nothing else. That's really weird. Oh, and also multicard reader is in inner USB. Dunno why 7 detects this monitor as that tv. In XP it works perfectly. Tried to install monitor drivers but it says that "Windows found the device but there is was a problem at installation" or something like that and below "File not found". Dunno what it's really in english cuz I've finnish Windows.

took me a while to find the driver. Seems Hyundai have taken it down and replaced it with a driver detective type wizzard. I've checked the driver file and it is the correct one.

Anyway, download this driver and use the Device Manager update to update driver by pointing it to where you downloaded it.

I've tried to install that driver but it doesn't install it :/

Still have the problem :/

Did you try the 182.50 (Vista) drivers and create your own custum resolution with it?
Using the 182.50 drivers can be a solution to your problem but i can't remember it worked for both 32 and 64-bit Windows 7, it certainly works for Win7 64-bit. Drivers higher then 182.50 can let you create your own custom res too but then these don't always work. Must admit that i didn't try the very latest drivers on this issue but i'm happy with 182.50.

I've the latest drivers and you can make own resolutions on them too. But it says that "Monitor doesn't support that resolution" :S

Drivers higher then 182.50 didn't work here either although some of those higher then 182.50 gave the option the create a custom res, none of those actualy worked (not sure about the very latest as i already said). 182.50 is THE driver to start with if you have res problems. Follow the steps from the link at Tom's Hardware (i did not need to go through the PowerStrip steps but a lot of other people needed those to make it work).
Another solution is to make your own EDID file.
