Does Display Adapter control maximum resolution?
Just acquired Asus PB278Q monitor on sale which is described as having the choice of a 2500 wide resolution.It is plugged in with the DVI cable. This is a Jan 2016 product and the store was clearing out older stock. The current Asus monitor was 200.00 more. I didn't realize it was not being supported in Asus opinion.
I get my typical 1980 wide with the Radeon R7 240...that is the max. choice.
Windows 10 labels this monitor as a generic pnp and doesn't recognize the last Win7-Win8 inf file. I searched and downloaded that file and the report was 'the most current is installed'
This R7 240 is on the most recent Catalyst drivers. Its info panel recognizes the actual name of the monitor.
I'm accustomed to the current resolution but I wondered what the higher resolution would be like to use.
The monitor calibrated and is fine overall I just am curious if it is possible to have the choice of the maximum resolution. Is the route to this acquiring a more recent display adapter?
