Unable to view a 1920x1080 second monitor with my Toshiba Portege m400.

[ Edited ]

I am unable to use my new monitor at work.   The monitor is an Acer h233h 23" monitor with native 1920x1080 resolution. 

The chipset is the Intel 945GM Exprss, with the Intel GMA 950 graphics card.  The driver is version 7.14.10.1217

 

Initially the monitor was seen as a Generic PNP Monitor, and the maximum resolution allowed was 1400x1050.

I installed the Acer h233h monitor driver, and the maximum resolution that is offered continues to be 1400x1050.

 

At home, I am able to extend the desktop onto a Samsung 21.5" 226BW monitor at 1680x1050 resoultion.

 

Can the graphics card power the larger 1920x1080 resolution?

Could the monitor driver be the problem?

 

Any help with this problem would be great.

thanks.

Have the same problem with m405-s8003.

 

I can set 1400x1050, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 1920x1440, 2048x1536. But I can't set the native resolution of my ViewSonic VA2413wm - 1920x1080 :smileysad:

 

BIOS version is 3.80 (latest available), chipset is 945GM, video driver version is 6.14.10.4926 (latest available on Intel). Operation system is Win XP SP3 Tablet PC Edition with all available updates.

 

 Can any body suggest something?

 

Thank you.

I too have the same issue with my M105-3041 laptop. I updated 945GM driver from Intel website, and it still cannot go to 1920x1080. All other laptops I have at home works fine and displays 1920x1080 with this new monitor I got.

 

Any solution? Does this intel chipset capable of displaying 1920x1080?

Thanks for the suggestion. The page you referred is describing the issue I ran into. I updated both BISO (from Toshiba website) and Intel driver (intel website), and still not able to display 1920x1080.
