M17x R4 Display

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.

1600x900 and 1920x1080 are two hardware different screens (different pixel density), nothing about software.

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.
