Guest smb00 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello, I bought the Samsung Syncmaster P2250 (16:9, 1920x1080) today and I can't select the native resolution of the screen in my properties. I connected the screen on my Toshiba Laptop which has a Geforce 7600 GO card (VGA only!!). I can chose between: 1280x800 (native resolution of the LAPTOP SCREEN) 1280x1024 1600x1200 1920x1440 2048x1536 but there is no 1920x1080 res.!! I installed the latest official driver for the GO series and it still isn't working... is there another way or do I have to give the screen back?? Thanks in advance!

Bill Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Did you use a mod INF from here? You can force the resolution too by checking the box that says something like "Allow modes not exposed by the display" in the nvidia control panel.

Guest smb00 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello Bill! Thanks for your answer. I already checked the box you mentioned and the resolutions listed above are the only one I can choose. Well, I'm new here on this site and it would be very helpful if you (or someone else :) ) could explain to me, step by step, how to procede to install a mod INF. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-405 which runs under Win XP MCE 32bit. My graphic card is a Geforce 7600 GO 256mb with VGA output ONLY. Thank you! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smb00 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello, I managed to install the newest driver with the modded INF and it works for the resolutions. So this problem is solved... Somehow, the Samsung screen becomes black like every 20 seconds for 1 seconds! Why is this happening and how can I fix this? Thanks!

Bill Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Uninstall the driver and try an older one like a 18x series. You may need to check a box to force HDTV resolution. Really though you need a DVI/HDMI out for HDTV stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smb00 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 hey Bill! I installed an older driver and it seems to work fine! I know it's not the best solution, but i just have my old laptop with VGA output for the moment... the next computer will surely have a DVI output. :) Thanks a lot for your help! smb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
