SaT0117 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 HI! Hey guys me has a question… I got the M17x R4 with the 1600x900 display and its awesome, but…Every time I plug my 360 over the HDMI IN, the screen goes to Full HD 1920*1080 so I was wondering if anyone knows how to “unlock” the FHD resolution inside Windows…Not with the NVidia Software Trick to allow custom resolutions but to enable the resolution by “Default” so that Windows can pick up the 1080p as the recommended resolution.

dave1343 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Are you sure its not just 720p and upscaling? I don't think they can software lock a monitor like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaT0117 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nop because if i use he nVidia trick it works just fine on 1080p, maybe theres some sort of driver or something like that for the monitor to enable the 1080p res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's not softwarely locked, you can't add pixel that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtonyman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 yup you can't just add pixels from no where though It would be nice if that were possible. As the other guy farther up said its 720p and up-scaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofew Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 SaT0117: This is not a software limitation. When building your M17x there are three options for your screen; One has a maximum resolution of 1600x900, one has 1920x1080, and one has 1920x1080 running at 120 hz (instead of 60) with an embedded IR emitter so it can display stereoscopic 3D content.You ordered the 1600x900 screen. If you want to get 1080p, you'll need to contact Dell (probably at [email protected] ) and see if they can help.In the future, be sure to read all setup questions thoroughly. Don't just keep clicking "next", especially when you're ordering a multi-thousand dollar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
