So I have a 24' Samsung monitor plugged into my computer A. It is connect with a VGA cable with a DVI adapter for the video card. I needed to unplug it to connect computer B and see if it works. When I was done, I hooked up my computer A back and the resolution changed from 1920x1080 to 1600x1200 and it won't let me set it up higher. I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it doesn't seem to help. The monitor is fine, I can set 1080 on different computers. Does anyone know what seems to be the problem?
 
Solution
if you have AMD card do this ; go to ccc vision center --> my VGA displays --> properties VGA display --> unbox the EDI thing --> maximum res. 1920x1080.

had the same problem with my monitor, resolution didnt go above 1400x900 ( got 1680x1050 ) fixed with above

This helped, thanks!
 
Similar problem: Reloaded windows 7, resolution is now 1680x1050. It used to be 1920x1200, and I cannot seem to get it back using windows screen resolution function or the Catalyst program. I installed the latest AMD760G driver and that didn't help. Does anyoneknow more about this?
 



Awesome fixed in seconds
 


Thanks a lot for this!! This is a very recurrent and annoying problem!!
 
I had similiar problem. I have LG Flatron W2230S, 22'' (native resolution is 1920x1080) and AMD Radeon 7770. On right click -> Properties, highest resolution is 1600x1200. When I try to change resolution under desktop properties in CCC, it automaticly changes refresh rate on 29 Hz, and when I press apply, my screen goes black and says "out of range".. When I try your soulution, it only works unitl I restart my PC. It's set up for 1920x1080, and all is fine but when I restart PC it goes black again, and says " out of range" ... What should I do? Please, help !
 

Yay! I fixed it with your suggestion. Thank you so much!!!

hi im having a similiar issue and i have a amd graphics card with ccc but their is no my VGA displays option in it any idea how to fix?

 


In the Nvidia Control panel, select change resolution. It will only list 1600x1200, but if you look below there should be a button called "customize" or something. Press it, and it will list a whole range of resolutions. Find 1920x1080 @ 32bit 60htz and add it to resolutions. Now select it and apply. If it doesn't work, make sure your VGA connection is tight. If it is, change VGA cable.
