Laptop connected to Tv via VGA

[Mushroom Tip]

Hi, I have my my Lenovo ideapad hooked up to my 1920x1080 Toshiba tv. It supports full HD. I was wondering if I can set my laptop to display a 1920x1080 display through the tv. As of right now I am only getting 1360x768. It's not the best laptop which you will see below but if there is a way to do this please let me know.

Thanks,
Mushroom

right click on the tv screen, and go to screen resolution. there, get the bar up all the way to 1920/1080. what are you using for the connection? an hdmi to vga adapter?

It only goes up to 1360x768. I am using a VGA. I am assuming it is my laptop that cannot support 1920x1080. I have a desktop that can handle it but it's constantly dying out on me. ( blue error screen )

do you a hdmi output on the laptop? try to get also updated graphics drivers from www.intel.com (search for 45 express chipset graphics)

You should check your TVs manual to see what resolutions it supports from a PC. Older HD TVs tend to only support 1366x768.

The TV is a relatively newer model and it supports 1920x1080 on my xbox and with my desktop. So I don't see that being the problem, thank you for the reply though

@laviniuc I do not have an HDMI output sadly, but I will look for the drivers right now. Thank you.

It is the restriction of your laptop plain and simple. It only supports 720p not 1080..nothing you can do.

Figured. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

install the latest graphics drivers,

check these steps: I cannot select a larger resolution or the native resolution for my display. How do I fix this issue?
from this page. it should work really if the tv supports the higher resolution http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022544.htm
