    I`m trying to calibrate my monitor and am supposed to change screen resolution to native, which I believe is 1920x1080. Problem is Windows won`t let me change it to that, it`s not one of the options...am I missing something......sorry the question mark on my brand new laptop is not working!


    I`m editing the post since I just read that the native resolution is actually 1600x900 with an option of increasing it to 1920x1080, which I thought was done when I bought it but since it`s not an option, I guess I didn`t buy it.

    The native resolution is the actual resolution of the display. So, you've got a native resolution of 1600x900, but can probably bump it up to 1920x1080 when you output the video via HDMI (if you have that).
