    I want to run Vantage, but there is no option to choose 1280X1024 resolution??

    Is there a way round this, I tried adding a custom resolution to the registry but it does not work. :mad:

    Does your monitor support that resolution? specifically, can you display 1024 vertical pixels at all?

    If you have a 1366x768 screen, you need an external monitor.

    God, it is always the simple things aint it? Of course that is the reason! Guess I need to push complaints more to futuremark for such a dumb resolution!

    Seems only "high end" laptops have the option theses days for full 1080p.

    Exactly....
    As N61JQ has a 16:9 aspect ratio 1366x768 resolution screen you can not select the resolution you are asking for. I can suggest you to be happy what you are getting (as you ve already purchased it), else it will give you more pain :eek: You have to wait more 10 years to have high resolution screens for Asus laptops.

    I remember my dear old G50vt-X6--which has been since sold to a friend--had a 16:10 resolution with something like 1680x1050. I miss 1024 vertical pixels.

    16:10 seems better than 16:9 to me. It's the golden ratio!
