How to force a bigger screen resolution?
How can i force a bigger screen resolution? My current resolution is 1360x768 and i would like to make it larger heres my system specs, Hp slimline s3700y, Widows Vista Home premium SP1, Video card: NVIDIA geforce 6150 se, Monitor: Sony 32" LCD Bravia, usiing RGB input on my tv. I updated all my drivers and still no luck...

The widescreen monitors require DVI-D I believe. I had a similar issue when I got my VX2025wm and 7800GTX where I would see the boot screens then the thing would not display anything unless I went into standard VGA. "Apparently I plugged my monitor into the DVI-I or DVI-A connector which does not support the 1680x1050 resolution. After some arguing with Viewsonic support and them just as frustrated with me and willing to replace my monitor to shut me up I decided to move the connector and everything worked." So you might want to look into what your Sony monitor requires and how you're connecting to it. If you don't get help on this newsgroup, then you might try posting on the Nvidia forums.

How to force a bigger screen resolution?
Try the latest drivers from the Nvidia website that were released in the
last week. Also read the release notes for them to see what resolution modes they will support as standard modes over the VGA interface they may now support 1080p so you don't have to try and create a custom resolution. I am quite sure they now support 1080p/60 over DVI Apparently there is no question as to if your Bravia TV is a 1080p LCD and not a 1366x768 LCD and will accept 1080p over VGA since it worked with your other computer, "JBP0cketChange" wrote in message ...

How to force a bigger screen resolution?
Monitors don't have drivers since they are always connected to graphic
cards(or chips in the case of IGP) which do have drivers. For many years the OSs and monitors used .inf files to describe their base specs now the use of EDID is a much more common method for a display to tell graphic cards what they will accept over the interface currently in use to the graphic card.

The only download I found at the link you provided is for enhancements and
bug fixes for the system software within the monitor. There were no downloads for updating any PC based software. "Tae Song" wrote in message ... "Tae Song" wrote in message ...
