Screen Resolution Problem

Hello, I'm having some problems with my resolution. I got a 26inch "Sharp Aquos LC-26D44S-BK" (1366x768) connected to my computer with a HDMI cable and a Nvidia 9800 GTX with the latest drivers installed.

The problem is that the only resolutions availible to me is 1280x720 and 1920x1080. I'm currently using 1216x684 (1280x720 with the edges removed, since 1280x720 makes me unable to see the whole screen), but I want to use a higher resolution, but 1920x1080 makes everything so small and all kinds of text is hard to read. Thus I'd like to use 1366x768 or 1600x900, but I can't use them even if I want to.

I tried "Add custom resolution" with the Nvidia Control Panel, but it gives me the error "[Resolution] is not supported by your display", even though the TV does support it. I remember that at one point I could use other resolutions when I had Vista, but since I installed Win7 I can only use two of them. Is there any solution to this?

Yes, I tried creating 1366x768, since I can't choose it from the list of resolutions, but it just says something like "This resolution is not supported by your display".

I think it's just because it's a TV and those are the only resolutions it can accept, it's not as versatile as a monitor would be - it works with 720p and 1080p, which is enough for a TV i guess

Well maybe, but why can't it support 1366x768 which is it's natural resolution? Also, I could use that resolution earlier when I had vista, but now I can't anymore.

Click to expand...

720p is a standard TV resolution, which is 1280 x 720 - 1366x768 is more of a non-standard resolution used by lots of netbooks/etc.

look at this picture - see where the "HD" definitions are? those are the resolutions that it supports, which makes sense for a tv

Hm, seems I'll have to stick with 1280x720 then. Anyway, thanks for your help. (+Rep)

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
