pc upgraded resolution problem with 5770 graphics

[Knytestorme]

This monitor offers 3 types of display -

VGA

DVI

HDMI

unlike samsung monitors which still doesnt have HDMI port

and also there were AUDIO IN and AUDIO out - i dont know the use of audio in port

The video quality through the VGA cable is awesome

and the maximum resolution is upto 1920 x 1080

it says it supports 1920 x 1080 but isnt showing it
my monitor doesnt have a dvi socket on it, thats why im using the vga adapter

These 2 comments do not make sense.

thought you said it was a Benq 22"?

Problem is Benq has sold several different 22" models most of them don't support 1920X1080.

If the monitor doesn't have a DVI or HDMI connector I don't think it will support an HDTV resolution.

But to help him we need information from his actual equipment. The real model number form the monitor
or what the monitor is reporting to the video driver would really decide this issue.

right, I just got confused when the monitor went from a Benq to a samsung

i got my video card to show the 1920 x 1080 resolution but when itas applied my screen goes all distorted like squashed and stretched, my guild mate suggested using a dvi cable ( full pins), getting one tonight on my way home,

got nothing to lose right, but how can the cable make the difference?

my monito is a Benq E2200

After you changed the resolution the monitor did not change to the new resolution, I have dell at work then is not very good as sensing the resolution on the VGA input. Often you can correct this, after you set the resolution on the video card and the monitor is messed up, try powering the monitor off then back on.

If you use a DVI cable the monitor is not going to have guess the resolution so it should work much better.

Question what did you have to do to get the vido card to show the 1920 X 1080 resolution?
