my intel graphics doesnt have my needed resolution

[gokitty199]

my 670 is getting sent back for a replacement so im using my processor to watch movies on, well i installed the latest drivers on my i5 4670k and dont see my needed desktop resolution that fits my screen, its 17something X 992. i cant remember the exact numbers i just know it starts with 17 in the first part and ends with a 992. is there any way to get this resolution for the time being while im out of a card?

What make/model is your display? That resolution (17something X 992) is not a standard one (as you recollect it). Seems like you should be using 1920x1080 or 1600x900, as examples of common resolutions.

its 1768x992 and it wouldnt fit my screen perfectly it would be a inch or two inside the screen from top and bottem. 1920x1080 is a tad to big to fit in the screen. this is the tv http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-82740-82-Inch-1080p-Projection/dp/B004ZL2OAO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

You should actually be using 1920x1080 and using your video card utility to adjust the scaling options so it fits the screen properly.

In the link you provided, it says the TV is FHD (Full HD -> 1080p -> 1920x1080 ), so try using that resolution.

Cheers!

EDIT: Forgot to add... If you needed to use a lower resolution, then you might have the TV in "Zoom" mode. There is a config in most modern TVs that let you adjust the size of the image from the TV itself. find it and leave it in "normal" or "not zoomed".

ok i found my zooming options, im in standard mode, the others just zoom it in more. i can see just the tip of my bar at the bottem of my computer and i cant see the start button at the bottem left. thats how far in it is.

And did you try using 1920x1080 as well?

I don't remember if Intel drivers have the "overscan" option in them either. At least, AMD has an option to scale the image it throws to the Screen so it fits any size.

Either way, I found this:

At the beginning of the summer, I built a desktop computer and an HTPC using the Intel DH77EB motherboard and an i5 processor with HD 4000 graphics. My HTPC is connected to a Hitachi 51F59a TV which is a rear projection CRT TV from 2006. It is connected via HDMI and the overscanning is significant (cannot see the task bar or the left-most column of desktop icons).

I found this article from Intel's website titled "Intel Graphics & Televisions FAQs." http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033418.htm?wapkw=hd+4000+overscan

The second to last question asks "Why can I see the center of the Windows* desktop, but not the top, bottom, and sides?" The suggested solution is to go into the graphics options and adjust the horizontal/vertical scaling from the general settings. When I go into this area, the available settings don't appear as they do in the screenshot from the FAQ's page. I was doing some reconfiguration on my HTPC and connected it to a smaller LCD TV. At the bottom of the settings, there is a drop down selection to maintain the aspect ratio or to use custom scaling. I had to first select the custom scaling, then apply that change before I could actually adjust the scaling. Once I did that, it worked fine and I could rescale my image. I was also able to do this from my desktop computer connected to an LCD monitor. Scaling was not necessary using either of these displays, but I figured out how to make the adjustment.

I then moved my HTPC back to the living room and connected it to the older HDTV (still using HDMI for my connection), but the scaling I had done before moving the PC was no longer applied. I went back into the graphics properties and found out that the scaling option is no longer available. The only choice from the drop down list in the settings was to maintain aspect ratio. My LCD is capable of 1080p at 60Hz while the CRT is only capable of 1080i at 59Hz. Which of these differences would be reason that scaling is not available on the rear projection CRT TV?

Looks like it does have it, but it's kind of hard to reach to it.

Cheers!

I am using a notebook with Intel graphics right now (Win 7 based). The options are there:

Right Click on Desktop
Click on Graphics Properties
Click the Display tile
Select Customize Aspect Ration (adjust as needed)
