4k Resolution on FHD Monitor

[nachiket13]

My Asus VP228H according to official website should just support 1920x1080, but when I go in resolution it shows FHD and above that 4k resolution, How is it possible?, Also I accidentally changed it to 4k once, did I do some damage to my Monitor or grpahic card?

Thats interesting... Maybe you installed the drivers for a display that does support 4k, this would trick windows into thinking its 4k. Could just be windows thinking that its a different model.

Does the model shown in windows dialogues show the same as your monitor?

No, there is no damage done to your graphics card or monitor, i think this is a purely firmware/software based thing. The only way that it COULD hard your graphics card is if it gets hot (over 90C) although some cards can get hotter and are made to get that hot.

All in all everything is fine, just a bug or glitch. Leave it at 1080p just incase

Yes windows dialogue show exactly same model as my monitor, I have GTX 1070. I got the drivers from Nvidia website itself.

Seems like a bug to me. If it starts to effect things that when you need it fixed. I think for now its one of those things you live with, as it doesnt effect performance etc.

Remember to pick this as "Best Solution" if it helps.
