    Asus A53S resolution problem

    Hi everybody,

    I just got the Asus A53S laptop today. I'm current using dual monitors via HDMI. The first monitor is the ASUS it self and a Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD. Now the problem is when I try to change the resolution to 1900 x 1080 which I know my monitor supports it doesn't display properly.

    Its like if the monitor isn't big enough to support that resolution. I have a picture posted here: http://i.imgur.com/j4L7N.jpg what could be the problem? The current resolution I'm running is 1680 x 1050. I'm guessing its has something to do with the intel integrated graphics handling the dual monitor instead of the the nvidia 540M. I tried to find an option somewhere on the nvida control panel but there isn't. If u take a look http://i.imgur.com/ZRQNW.jpg

    It looks like the only output is the vga and the hdmi is being handled by the cpu. I'm so lost now :confused: can anybody help me out? have any suggestions? That would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :D

    If you enter the BIOS (F2 after power on) is there an option to disable the intel graphics and only use the 540m?
