Nvidia GeForceGT 630M and screen resolution

[bleep69]

Hi,

I just got the HP Envy dv6 laptop, which comes with the above graphics card. On all the sites I have seen, the screen resolution in this machine is 1900 x 1020, but to my dismay the resolution is actually much lower at 1366 x 769.

Due to geographical and economic factors, returning the laptop is a major PITA, and I'd like to avoid it if possible.

My 'research' shows that this card should support a higher resolution, is there something amiss that can be fixed, or is that it?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers.

Most new laptops atthe lower price range are set for 1366 x 768

if you goto the desktop
right click
graphic properties

I have a fuji and was very disappointed to see that screen resolution - when i had been used to a sony which was able to goto a much higher resolution

Hi etaf,

The maximum there is the paltry 1366 x 768. I was hoping some driver update or something might get me past it, but I'm told by my computer that all drivers are up to date

Where do I find the full model details?

Thanks!

Confusingly, I have just found the Nvidia page concerning this:

Looks like it should be able to go higher...?

There doesn't appear to be any label. I don't have it available right now, but when I get home I'll dig out the original specs and see if that clarifies anything.

Thanks for your help etaf.
