Hey all, wasn't sure if this was display or video card, so I put it in general hardware...I have a problem on a dual monitor setup where the analog montior cannot be set to it's native 1600x1200. Both the nvidia and microsoft (win7 64) resolution selection screens will not show the native resolution.
Setup:
1 Geforce 8400GS and two HP LP2065 monitors native at 1600x1200 on Win7 64.
Geforce --> DVI ---> DVI ---> Monitor 1
Geforce --> VGA ---> DVI ---> Monitor 2
This was working with both monitors at 1600x1200 on Win7 32. I recently upgraded to 64, and now I am unable to get the analog monitor into 1600x1200.
I have installed the LCD driver's from HP's website for Win7 64. I have installed the latest and one generation previous of the Nividia drivers. When I go into Nvidia control panel, it displays the "native" resolution as 1024x768.
I swapped cables between the two monitors, and the analog one always has this problem. I swapped in a new VGA to DVI cable and the problem remains. I used that cable and hooked the monitor up to a Vista machine, and it worked fine in 1600x1200. So, I am very certain at this point that the monitors are unlikely the culprit.
If I go into Nvidia's software and do a "custom" resolution to manufacture recommended 1600x1200 @60hz, 32 bit -- it will accept that resolution, but it is scaling it in software and the information panel in the monitor's firmware reports it as a much lower resolution. It is too blurry to be usable as well.
Any ideas on how I can work around this issue or where else I should look for assistance? Thanks for any help.
