How do I get 1920x1200 using HDMI input from my PC

[wrangler]

Just trying out stuff for fun. Decided to see what HDMI would do instead of DVI and I can only select 1920x1080. I've looked all over CCC and Vista and am stumped.

????

I know I've heard people running their PC over HDMI..............haven't I?

Did a little reading around and see threads from people with the Westinghouse having to hack EDID or drivers or something but that is only with nvidia cards. I have ATI.

When I run off of hdmi, 1920x1200 is not available as a resolution. Shouldn't it be available? Does my computer think I am hooked to a TV?

The computer will read the EDID from your monitor to get the available resolutions. Are you running it through any HDMI switchers or is it just a straight path from your PC to the monitor?

I know you're just trying it out, but as long as your TV/Monitor treats the 2 connections the system, which most do, HDMI isn't going to look any better than DVI. Probably not worth messing with.

I would tend to agree that it is not worth a LOT of effort, DVI is working fine, but........

maybe I should ask this in my monitors dedicated thread............maybe it's supposed to be this way.

I've heard that there can be differences depending on which input you run.

Thanks for the responses guys.
