Raphie Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi, I've just received my Dell XPSM-1330 last week and all was good. However now i am trying to hook it up to my Dell 3007WFPHC monitor which has a native resolution of 2560 * 1600. I've installed the latest Nvidia Forceware (Vista32 163.44) and i am not able to select any external resolution higher than the internal resolution of my panel (being 1280 * 800) The 3007WFPHC is connected via an HDMI to DVI cable and is properly recognized by Forceware. However everytime i want to apply a setting, forceware jumps back to "Generic Plug & Play Monitor" which then limits me to 1280 * 800. The 8400G-M supports Dual link up to 2560 * 1600 and was my main reason for choosing the M1330, however i have no clue how to get this selected via the HDMI port. All tips are welcome!

Raphie Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Just to add: I understood that the HDMI output supported DUAL LINK (which is required in order to drive 2560 * 1600) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Order Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just to add: I understood that the HDMI output supported DUAL LINK (which is required in order to drive 2560 * 1600) Hello, You need a special DUAL LINK DVI cable also, have a look here http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/monitor3.htm If the cable doesn't support DUAL LINK you'll get the resolution divided by 2 (what you get). Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphie Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I've just "solved" my 3007HC-wfp issue. The EDID from he 2007HC only provides 2 hardware resolutions: 1280 * 800 (which is the same as the xps-m1330 screen) and 2560 * 1600 (requires dual link) since HDMI is single link, the 3007HC defaults to 1280 * 800 (instead of 1920 * 1080) The HDMI out does 1440 * 850 perfectly on my 1908wfp and 1920 * 1080p on my Pioneer PDP-5000ex so i am going to sell my 3007HC wfp and buy an 2407wfp which is fully supported via HDMI n the XPS-M1330 (1920 * 1080) Currently i am running with the 156.64 drivers and they work perfectly with all notebook add-ons enabled and full support for dualscreen.
