NasT Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to hook up my HP NW9440 workstation with an Apple 30" Cinema display, but I can't get the resolution right: I only get 1280X800 Who can help me out? The HP is connected to the docking station and the docking is connected to the 30" Cinema Display by an DVI connector.

Falcon351 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Which OS are you running? In Windows, you may be able to set it to not hide unsupported (by the monitor) display modes.

yan.kun Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Most Notebooks don't have a Dual link DVI port, wich is required for such big displays.

Falcon351 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 You should still be able to get more than 1280x800 with a single link. The reason I suggested unhiding unsupported modes was because the driver may not be detecting them correctly. I remember that my 21" CRT supported higher resolutions than Windows would allow me to select if I let it "believe" the monitor about its capabilities.
