i just bought a widescreen samsung 940MW monitor, and it only has two resolutions, 1024 by 768, and 800 by 600. On the web site http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCD_Multi_Function/LS19DOWSSXAA.asp?page=Specifications it says that that the native resolution is 1440 by 900 which would work. i was wondering if there is anyway i can change the resolution. i got the last one that was on display,and all they gave me was the monitor and the 2 cords i need. i think there might be software to change it,but i don't know. please help.
Here is the driver from samsung. Also depends on your video card. BTW Nice Monitor!!!! http://www.samsung.com/support/prod...ypecode=203&model=940MW&filetype=DR&language=
still doesn't work i downloaded the driver and 1440x900 isn't an option. do you know of any other driver that i can use?
bgolf109, Try reinstalling your display drivers (either of your motherboard, or your graphic card, if you have one)
3 days before i got this monitor i had a emachines 19inch widescreen that DID have 1440x900 resolution and looked and worked perfect. (i got the samsung so i could use my xbox on it). so i don't think it's the graphics card, and i've tried reinstalling the driver numerous times, and it still doesn't work. ive been looking for answers all over the web and i can't find anything.
call Samsungs tech support also go into your videocard setup and make sure its set at the right res. and did you set the res. in windows Properties by right clicking your desktop going to setting
http://support.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm this is what i have. i'm trying to install the new driver, but when i starts to install i get a message that says "the driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from your computer's manufacturer". I know that it's the right driver because i ran the chip identifacation program and it said that i have the 945 express. i know that my graphics card can run at 1440x900, it did on another monitor that i had. i don't understand why it can't on this one.
Also this is my computer (incase this info helps anybody) http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5056728 (it's the only site i could find the exact one)
