Hi

Have a Dell 22 inch Ultrasharp monitor with native resolution of 1650x1050 (or something like that!) with a 512mb graphics (can't remember make/model)

Anyway, that's the highest setting available but can I "override/over'clock'" it to, say 1900x1600 or similar? or am I stuck with what I've got (which is pretty good tbh, just want to know if I can go higher).


thanks in advance.

I don't believe so. Anything higher than its native resolution will result in interpolation and a fuzzy image.

Yep, it only has a set number of pixels, so even if you were successful in increasing the resolution, (which I'm not sure is possible) all you'd end up with was a fuzzy mess, (as it would have to simply not be able to display half the screen image).

Maybe time to get a higher resolution screen?

Short, non-techie answer, no, the picture won't "fit".

However, some graphics cards and drivers will allow you to select a higher resolution, and the your display effectively becomes a porthole onto a bigger desktop, and as you reach the outer edge, it scrolls around. Hope you get what I'm on about
