Hi all.
I bought a Samsung Syncmaster SA300 model S22A300B 21.5" and have been using it happily and intensively for about 20 months. One morning stopped working completely so i send it to the Media Markt service since it was still on guaranty.
They repaired it and told me that it was a hardware problem and that they needed to substitute the Mainboard of the monitor.
I tried the monitor back at home and could not set it at its native resolution 1920x1080, windows 7 only let me set it at 1366x768, and says that that's the recommended and native resolution for this monitor. It looks awful at that resolution.
I decided to actualize my graphic card and monitor´s drivers but did not work. I plugged it into another PC and laptop but all the same. Tried different settings and older drivers and all still the same problem.
So, i checked Aida 64 and to my surprise that's what it says:
Monitor Properties
Monitor Name Samsung SyncMaster S19A300B/S19A350B (Analog)
Monitor ID SAM0788
Model SA300/SA350
Monitor Type LCD (WXGA)
Max. Visible Display Size 41 cm x 23 cm (18.5")
Picture Aspect Ratio 16:9
Maximum Resolution 1366 x 768
S19A300B/S19A350B??? 18.5"??? Is it possible that the Media Markt technicians installed the wrong motherboard on my monitor?? The answer is no cause I just opened the monitor´s case to check the mainboard and the mainboard´s model is the same as my monitor. Firmware is up to date too, so it´s a configuration/drivers problem then (I guess). What can i do!
So pretty please, do u have any suggestions or similar experience? I´m running out of ideas here
Thanks in advance.
My PC:
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU Type DualCore Intel Core i3-2100, 3100 MHz (31 x 100)
Motherboard Name Foxconn H61MXV/H67MXV
System Memory 4080 MB (DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM)
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (1 GB)
