I just recently got a E2400HD and it is my first LCD so please be nice. When I try to set my resolution to 1920x1080 in any games, the monitor says "Out of Range" and I am forced to revert back to a lower resolution. Why is this? I checked in the monitor and it is set at 60Hz refresh rate right now. The odd thing is that my desktop resolution is set at 1920x1080 and it is running just fine. Also, my graphics card is a Radeon 4870x2. I run Dead Space just fine at 1920x1080, but no luck with Bioshock and World in Conflict.
 
you need to check the refresh rate of the games you're trying to run.
If it's above 60 it won't show anything.
I think it's the only guess I have at this moment.
If I understand correctly anything under 1900*1080 runs fine?
 
Yes, anything under 1920x1080 runs fine. Can I change the refresh rating in-game somehow?
 
Is there an option in the driver control panel that sets your monitor's scaling method? I know in the NVCPL you can set which object determines scaling - the driver or the monitor. Besides that, I'm stumped.

edit: yes, in most games you can set the refresh rate through the game settings. I know FC2 does this, and I think bioshock as well.
 
I'll check that right now. I'm using RivaTuner and didn't even install the Catalyst Control Panel.
 
Use Rivatuner to force 60Hz at 1080p.
You tell rivatuner the range of resolutions you want to force 60Hz for - using the icons at the top to help populate the settings.

Rivatuner must be running for it to work.
 
Try checking the "alternate DVI frequency" check box in the ATI control panel - see if that helps.

For the two games that don't work - had you previously set a different refresh rate? If so, make sure to set it back to 60hz in game.
 
I have never set a refresh rate in game. Thanks for the help, I'm going to try to figure out how to force RivaTuner to force 60Hz as I just recently built this machine and I am not familiar with RivaTuner.
 
This is off the wall, but have you tried turning off you monitor and turning it back on after switching to 1920x1080. I have a monitor on a work station at work that when you wake it up from sleep mode, the monitor will kick on and say out of range, I turn it off then turn on the monitor and works just fine. Wierd, I know.
 
Are there any good RivaTuner guides out there? I need to find out how to force 60Hz@1920x1080.
 
Try this:
Open CCC
Go to digital panel
HDTV support
check 1920*1080 60mhz.

On my 37" I would get out of range on dx10 but afte I checked this it displayed fine.

Its really not hard to find :)
Click the upper Customize button and select "low-level refresh rate settings".
Hehe.
 
Nevermind, I am retarded.

Bump for resolution! :D

And yes, like the posters above said, install CCC, check off the 1080p60 resolution as there is a DirectX 10 bug and 1080p in games such as Bioshock and WiC.


 
Go careful.
Best move any mechano sets and soldering irons from near the PC to prevent it creating a Terminator!

Heh, its not that bad now, it used to be slow and awkward at times but its much nicer to use these days.
 
People over at the XS forums are saying that it is impossible to force 60Hz@1920x1080 in DX10. They say it's an issue that ATI has known about for more than six months and has failed to fixed. Is this true?
 
Why don't you stop yapping and go try the advice in this thread to see if it fixes your problem....?

Try it.
Get DX9 working first so you arent shooting in the dark.
 
Well guys, the vote is in. ATI doesn't fail yet. I went into CCC, down to "Digital Panel," then "HDTV Support," then clicked "1080p60 standard (1920x1080@60Hz)", then clicked "Add" and "Apply Format". After that I went up to "Displays Manager" and into the "Displays Properties" tab, then clicked the "Force" button, then "HDTV Mode," then "1920x1080@60Hz" and she runs perfectly! All you guys who have called it quits and said that running at 1920x1080@60Hz in DX10 is impossible, try this and it should work for you.
 
Ok, perhaps I spoke to soon. This fix worked for Bioshock, but it is not working for World In Conflict. I have some more tinkering to do. This is definitely frustrating.
 
I just switched all my settings back to Default and I'm starting from the beginning to see if I can get to the bottom of this.
