    Hi,

    I was wondering if the intel integrated graphics supports a resolution of 1680 X 1050?

    I was checking out the supported resolutions in the display properties, and while there was support for 1920X1200 and other higher resolutions, 1680X1050, and 1440X900 were not options. Any idea if I can get those lower resolutions in any way?

    I wanted a widescreen external monitor, and the affordable 19-20" lcd's have those resolutions.

    Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

    my drivers are updated as of 20th may 06

    Not supported or not shown? There may be a "show all resolutions" on the external monitor tabs.

    my bad, its not shown.

    I couldn't find any tab or any show all resolutions anywhere in properties. I tried connecting my 17" external, and it works fine (but the resolution was an option 1280x1024)

    could you be more specific as to where the tab you described is?

    Thanks
