Native resolution not attained
My son has a new Samsung 204b lcd monitor and via DVI the PC (with XP) is
not recognizing the monitors native resolution of 1600*1200. Nvidia control panel shows native res as 1280*1024 for some reason. He runs a 7900gs card and I have confirmed this occurring also on my Pc with a 8800GTX card and Vista We have tried 3 different video divers, 2 different DVI cables and still cannot see the native res. On vga/analogue cable the res shows up. Any1 seen this happen before and if so what is the cause/solution. tony |

Free for personal use, MonInfo captures and translates all the data passed by the monitor to the display driver and on to the operating system - revealing, for example, the reasons behind limitations on resolution and refresh rate, and the monitor manufacturer's recommended timings." As I understand it, installing the "monitor driver" from the monitor maker, can declare more resolutions. Since my EDID seems to be OK, I cannot experiment with that. On some older video cards with DVI, the higher resolutions were not available because of issues with the max clock rate of the DVI interface. Some DVI interfaces could not run at the full rate, and rather than end users seeing snow on their monitors, the driver limits the rate. I doubt that is the problem with your setup, as you have recent and high end cards. This article has some interesting background info.

Yes that was the 1st thing we did the driver is 2005 vintage and version 1 so possible it needs a replacement though that version is the only 1 on the net and on the disk. I installed the digital driver not the analogue 1 thaere was a choice. thanks for the suggestion though tony |

Dated 8/25/2005. I tried the "Update driver" and it came up with version 2, but a date of 2/5/2007 The site says version 1 but when u install it windows shows version 2. Tried the update driver option says upto date Really this sounds more like RMA time it is only 2 days old... I removed the driver for the panel and the monitor was then a generic panel the resolutions are exactly the same as whaen the DVI driver for the panel is installed seems not to be reading the details correctly. reinstalled the digital driver and same issue.
