the cable will make all the difference, as using a DVI-D (full set of pins) or HDMI cable will give you a digital signal, whereas a VGA cable will give you an analogue one.

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?

i went into the Catalyst contol panel display > configuration > then over rid it to 1920 x 1080, now however i have a monitor driver issue, ive downloaded the drivers from the benq site, but they dont come with an exe/wizard to install them correctly

just right click on the .inf file and select install

just right click on the .inf file and select install

The INF file you have chosen does not support this method of installation

tried to over ride the driver inf with a custom one made using Powerstrip, no luck here either

[mikekim]

have you tried windows update for a new driver?

Try using a DVI cable! They're CHEAP! http://monoprice.com

Or if you want contact your card's manufacturer for tech support.
