37777 2002-03-04 03:59:00 Hi, i have just purchased a Philips 105-S monitor, on the box and in the manual it is rated to 1280X960 but it doesnt want to go above 1024x768 in the normal options, i have updated my budget graphics chip ( a 10meg download, the chip is rated to 1600X1200), any ideas on how i can get the resolution up to 1280X960?

Many Thanks

It also could be caused by your graphics card, you may have to lower your colour depth to get to a higher resolution.

But since its only a 15' (I think) you will probably find 1024x768 is the highest you can actually use it at.

37779 2002-03-04 08:49:00 I have installed the driver for the monitor but it only goes up to 1024X768

My colour depth is at 16bit not 32

The box says it can go to 1280X960 but i just cant figure how to get it to go that high!

What video card do you have??
