    My 19 inch samsung LCD states that it has a maximum resolution of 1280 by 1024. When I plug it into my DESKTOP, and go to the properties and display settings, this resolution is the max that I can display.

    HOWEVER,

    I took this monitor and plugged it into my LAPTOP for use as a secondary monitor, and now I am able to move the bar and change the resolution to 1600-1200 which I never thought was possible.

    Here is my question,

    How do I get this monitor to display 1600-1200 on my desktop???

    I have tried getting a video card- doesnt work
    i have tried to put two monitors and use the Samsung as a secondary monitor - doesnt work

    Ten bucks on stars to the person who can solve my question. Thanks.

    Plug it into your desktop and go to the start menu. Go to control panel. Take a sledge hammer and put it through the screen of your monitor. Send the cash to CincyONU on party.

    Seriously, i don't know - the problem is with your desktop, i guess it isn't capable of that resolution or something....but you got a new vid. card? No idea..

    While I'm here, I'm having a monitor problem. I connected a Monitor directly to my laptop and the monitor is in widescreen mode, and I can't get it to use the entire screen. I've tried all of the manual monitor controls....
