I have exhausted google and hope the digital goddess can help. I have windows 10 on my desktop PC. On <g class="gr_ gr_51 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="51"
id="51">Wednesday</g> November 22nd it automatically updated to the latest 64-bit windows 10 build:
Version: 1703
OS Build: 15063.729
Prior to this <g class="gr_ gr_58 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="58" id="58">update</g> my windows settings allowed my 27" display to use <g
class="gr_ gr_59 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="59" id="59">it's</g> native 1920x1080 resolution. I was happy as anyone can be with windows.
After this <g class="gr_ gr_49 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="49" id="49">update</g> I can find no way to get windows 10 to allow me to use the native
resolution, or any other resolution that's the right aspect ratio for my monitor, a ViewSonic VX2703MH-LED that is 16:9. The only choices I have now are:
1152 x 864
1280 x 1024
640 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1600 x 1200
I tried installing the manufacturers latest display driver. I tried hacking the registry, I googled for hours. I tried backing out the update, but my choices were to reinstall windows and lose all my apps and personal <g class="gr_ gr_54
gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="54" id="54">files,</g> or to reinstall windows and just lose all my apps. Neither is a palatable solution. I've
got nothing.
I have an older monitor I'd <g class="gr_ gr_55 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="55" id="55">used as</g> the display for a <g class="gr_ gr_46 gr-alert
gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="46" id="46">dvd</g> player. I put it back on the PC because it came closer to the 4:3 aspect ratio, and if desperate I can even
manipulate it to leave dead space to each side of the display to get the actual 4:3 aspect ration. This is a Samsung SyncMaster T260HD. <g class="gr_ gr_57 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace"
data-gr-id="57" id="57">It's</g> native resolution is 1920x1200. I have it pretending to be 1600x1200.
My question to you is, how can I get windows 10 to recognize one of these monitor's native resolutions? It recognizes the monitors by model number if I install them and reboot, but <g class="gr_ gr_63 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim
Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="63" id="63">still</g> I only have the six bogus resolutions it provides, none <g class="gr_ gr_47 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling
ins-del" data-gr-id="47" id="47">if</g> which utilize the capabilities of my monitors.
I'm tempted to blow away windows and install Ubuntu, but I have a lot of windows apps on this computer. I've had it since 2009 and would hate to have to start over with a new computer or OS.
