hi all, at the moment i'm running my monitor (Benq FP241W) using a dvi to hdmi cable (dvi to gc, hdmi to monitor). for some reason i cant get it to display 1920x1200, the max resolution seems to be 1920x1080. when using dvi to dvi cable, i can select 1920x1200. surely hdmi should also support this res as its the monitors native res. using a 8800gt 512mb if that helps. thanks

It might be a driver issue, I'm running my 24 inch at 1920x1200 with a dvi/hdmi cable.

i know in xps latest drivers i could add custom resolutions, cant seem to find that option in vista.

I wonder if Powerstrip would help?

Have you updated Vista as far as it would go?
