Hello,
I own a Samsung Syncmaster 305t and it is capable to go to 2560x1800 resolution. When I connected the dual-link DVI cable to my AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series Graphics Card, It can only display 1280x800. Whatever resolution higher then 1280x800 it will not display.
I do have the option of increasing it to 2560x1800 but by doing so, the screen turns grey, white, blue, and red in a loop. So I then press ENTER to go back to 1280x800.
according to AMD's website, my graphics card does support 2560x1600 and I do have the correct dual-link DVI-D cable plugged in.
Device manager shows "Generic PnP Monitor" under "Monitors" which is updated to the latest driver.
Other forums have suggested a windows 7 driver issue. Some have said that when plugging in the Syncmaster, a Driver automatically downloaded but did not for me. I then looked online for the driver to manually install but there seems to be no drivers available for the Syncmaster 305t.
I tried shutting off the monitor and turning back on with no success.
I unfortunatly don't have any other devices to test this monitor because of the fact that it only has 1 dual-link DVI port (not many people around me have desktops :S)
After looking online, the only results I found was that most people did not have a compatible Graphics card but it doesn't seem to be my case.
any help would be greatly appreciated to get this monitor to display 2560x1600!
recap of my specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor @ 3.80GHZ
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
RAM: 8 GB
System Type: 64-bit
