Question

Problems resolutions Samsung screen

by Jan 25, 2012 5:30PM PST

After installing windows 7 and all drivers for my Samsung t220 screen and Nvdia GeForce 9800 GT, neither windows 7 nor Nvidia reconognize 1680x1050 resolution. Maximum resolution permitted is1280x1024, very deficient. Had no problem with XP and analog cable). I have tried powerstrip and created a personal driver with a 1680x1050 resolution, but with the same negative results.
Buying "just" another screen is no option!!
Samsung doesn't provide specific drivers for windows 7.

Why your mention of "analog"? Did you switch to digital now? In that case: does analog work in Windows 7.

For monitors, usually there are no drivers. But they might come with an inf-file. Did you check that?

Analog/ digital

With XP only the analog cable gives me 1680x1050 resolution.
With 7 neither.
Yes, the monitor came with its inf, but with no better result than standard windows 7 driver.

Here you go ...

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us&ptid=1&psid=51&pid=0

That link lets you either select Product (GeForce) and Product Series (GeForce 9 Series for you), and actual Operating system (64 or 32 bit), and language which will take you to the proper driver download OR ...

you can also take option 2 and while using the Samsung click the button to "Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products"

That should take care of your problem.
