How to Get 1920x1080 Full HD Resolution From Your Laptop

Posted by -
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 4710 which came with Intel 945 chipset and it has Intel GMA 950 as the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). A few days ago I tried to connect my laptop to a Full HD LCD monitor with 1920x1080 as the optimum resolution.

Max resolution for Intel GMA 950 is 2048x1536 (Intel website), so I think it's okay to connect it to a Full HD monitor, but after connecting it to my Full HD LCD, I'm not able to select 1920x1080 (this resolution is not showing up) in Intel Graphic Control Panel.... :(



But everything is ok now....



What do you do when you’re faced with a "resolution" problem?


Step 1:
Download Monitor Asset Manager (moninfo.exe) here..
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

Step 2:
Install MonInfo.....
Connect your LCD monitor...
Install LCD monitor driver...
Open MonInfo Start > All Programs > MonInfo > MonInfo
Select your Full HD 1080p LCD Display ID....






Then copy numbers in green... click here for larger picture...


Step 3:
Open notepad, paste that numbers...
then replace all commas with space...
these numbers are called the DTD, it contains information about monitor's optimum resolution.



Step 4:
To make sure that you are select the correct numbers, download DTD calculator here...
install it then open it....


click Reverse Calculation > paste DTD numbers > click Reverse Calculate
optimum resolution will appear on the top left of the DTD calculator window...
if it's not... you may copy-paste the wrong numbers.

now, don't close DTD calculator window, just minimize it...

Step 5:
Download latest VGA driver for your laptop here and don't forget to select .zip version of the driver.
extract it then locate .inf file inside Graphics folder, and double click on it... (open in notepad)

Vista x86 (32 bit) : igdlh.infVista x64 (64 bit) : igdlh64.inf
XP : igxp32.inf

Step 6:
Search for :


[NonEDIDMode_AddSwSettings] HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 0 ; This shows number of DTDs to be used. ; 0-->Disable the feature.
;Following keys have 20 bytes (18 byte DTD + 2 Byte flags).
HKR,, DTD_1,%REG_BINARY%, 01,1D,80,18,71,1C,16,20,58,2C,1A,00,00,00,00,00,00,86,37,01 ;1920x1080@60...Interlaced
HKR,, DTD_2, %REG_BINARY%, 01,1D,80,D0,72,1C,16,20,10,2C,1A,80,00,00,00,00,00,86,37, 01 ;1920x1080@50...Interlaced
HKR,, DTD_3,%REG_BINARY%, 01,1D,00,BC,52,D0,1E,20,B8,28,25,40,00,00,00,00,00,04,37, 01 ;1280x720@50....Non-interlaced
HKR,, DTD_4, %REG_BINARY%, 01,1D,00,72,51,D0,1E,20,6E,28,25,00,00,00,00,00,00,06,37,01 ;1280x720@60....Non-interlaced
HKR,, DTD_5,%REG_BINARY%, 00, 00, 00 ,00, 00, 00,00, 00, 00,00, 00, 00,00, 00, 00,00, 00, 00,00, 00 ;Fifth DTD



Click here for larger image...



Step 7:
Open (maximize window) DTD calculator...



open Notepad
copy-paste DTD to Notepad.....
and replace all spaces with coma

and minimize DTD calculator window...
(we will need it later)





Step 8:
Replace numbers in green with DTD with comas from step 7
larger image click here



and the result :
(I change ;1920x1080@60...Interlaced to ;1920x1080@60...Non-Interlaced
this is optional, it just "comment")
press Ctrl+S to save changes....
larger image click here

Step 9:

 to be continued..... ;)
I have to go now...
I will continue this tutorial as soon as possible


On some laptops/notebooks 1920x1080p is disabled in the BIOS...
in this case we need add more custom resolution.. for example: 1919x1080

Open (maximize) DTD Calculator window....
click Calculation tab
larger image, click here
Change H Active Pixels value to 1919
and H End of Blanking Interval value to 2201
(Since we've subtracted 1 pixel, we need to add 1 pixel to the horizontal blanking interval - CMIIW)
larger image, click here

Calculated DTD value will automatically change..


Step 10: 
Copy Calculated DTD value to notepad....
and replace all spaces with comma

Step 11:
Back to *.inf file.....
replace numbers in yellow with numbers from step 10
larger image, click here


larger image, click here
(I change ;1920x1080@50...Interlaced to ;1919x1080@59,9...Non-Interlaced
this is optional, it just "comment")

 Step 12:
then.. at
HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 0

 change it to 5

 HKR,, TotalDTDCount, %REG_DWORD%, 5

larger image, click here
large image, click here

press Ctrl+S to save changes....
and custom Intel VGA driver ready....

 you can close DTD calculator, MonInfo, Notepad,.. etc..
Step 12:
Open control panel....
Uninstall original Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver
restart your laptop.....

 then install our custom Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver using Setup.exe
... btw, sometimes I have to install Intel VGA custom driver twice... I don't know why...
restart your laptop....
Step 13:
Connect your Full HD 1080p LCD screen....
then open Intel VGA Control Panel
If 1920x1080 available.. Congratulations! your laptop/computer BIOS support 1920x1080..
but if not, you may select 1919x1080 as alternative screen resolution for your 1080p LCD screen...

 after 1919x1080 resolution applied, go to your LCD screen setup and change phase setting...


or use auto adjustment feature...
believe me.. there's no difference between 1919x1080 and 1920x1080... after auto adjustment....

 Notes:
you can use this tutorial for
laptop/PC with Intel Chipset G35, G33, G31, G965, GM965, 945G, 945GM, 915G 915GM
and add more custom resolutions....
Thanks to Archibael :)

  1. It worked like a charm. It didn't the first time but is because I missed some details while reading. Thanks for putting this online.


    I have aSamsung 2494HM and a Toshiba Satellite A105 Series, graphic card adapter 945 GM shipset Family.Mine is working with 1919X1080 as you said some cards don't display 1920X1080. I don't miss that pixel though.

  2. Hi,

    Thanks for the great tutorial.

    I found it very useful in getting an Acer X233H Monitor to Work on a Dell Dimension 3100.

    I ended up having to use 1919 x 1080 as apparently the Video BIOS on these systems won't allow 1920 x 1080.

  3. Worked like a dream on a Fujitsu Q2010, with 1919 x 1080.
    Just upgraded the driver since it was the same version, only yesterday installed Windows 7 on this machine.

    Great work matey!!

  4. I got it to work with 1919x1080 on my toshiba satellite with a Hannsg monitor. However, I noticed on some of my pictures there are these random blue pixels. Any idea why this is happening?

  5. Thank you so much. I could not get 1920*1080 on my LG W2453V, because my Dell Dimension 3100 could not deal with the resolution. But thanks to you everything works great (resolution 1919*1080). You are a money-saver. Just wondering...are the new settings in the driver completely harmless? I mean...is this ok for the integrated videocard?

  6. Thanks for the tip. I got a new monitor for xmas and was infuriated at the lack of 1080p when I hooked it up. First I tried 1920x1080 and it stayed at 1680x1050 but started flickering, so I thought it might be a limit with the VGA hookup, but the 1919x1080 worked like a charm. Awesome.

  7. Thanks you so much! I've got a really nice Samsung HD monitor that I brought about a year ago. Other than my PS3 it hasn't had anything HD displayed on it because of this issue. But thanks to you it's no longer displaying a distorted abomination of a resolution. I'm so thankful for this. It got to the stage where I was thinking about buying a new laptop just so I could use the full potential of my monitor. I LOVE IT, SO SHARP AND CLEAR!

    Cheers,

    Anthony.

  8. You are the man! Thank you very much, worked well at my LG M237WA with the chipset X3100 (GM965), now I am using 1919x1080, at Ubuntu was already working. Again, thanks!

  9. Great article (work in XP), but I cant't set properly phase/clock and sharpness is different on left/right/center TFT. I use also Auto-Adjusting but left side tft is more blury than than sides.

    In Windows 7 this trick doesn't work. When I remove old intel drivers, old entries on Registry still exists (DTD_1, DTD_2...) in many places.

    What can I do? Manually remove all?

    Thanks :)

  10. I made it to point 11, but what exactly do you do at point 12? Please go a bit further in detail here. I'm not able to find this driver...

    about that blurry
    try manual adjustment.... or try to use another custom resolution (e.g 1921x1080)

    please uninstall old intel driver using "Add/Remove Programs" feature from Windows... don't use Device manager... It's work on Win 7, I'm using windows 7 right now.. :)

  12. Re: I made it to point 11, but what exactly do you do at point 12? Please go a bit further in detail here. I'm not able to find this driver...

    please go to "Add/Remove Programs" (Win XP) or "Uninstall or Change a Program" (Win 7) then locate Intel VGA driver then uninstall it... restart your computer, then install your new custom VGA driver, restart again...
    sometimes after the second restart, I need to install custom VGA driver again, if you find that you can't find any Intel VGA application, or you can't change resolution to 1919x1080, please reinstall custom VGA driver, then restart your computer.. done

  13. I'm sure the metod described here works...and I'm looking forward to see it work on my BenQ E2220HD monitor. (The cost of a new PC saved...) However, I've faced two minor problems. Perhaps someone running the XP can answer me.

    After doing everything as described to point 11, I unistall the Intel Graphics Media Accelrator Driver in the Control panel. But this actually removes the igxp32.inf-file, the file I've altered according to the descriptions... That is not correct, is it? (Perhaps I should try save it to the desktop instead and put it back in DRVSTORE folder after unistalling the driver?)

    As I said earlier I do belive 100% in the method on this page, but it isn't working for me - yet. But I'm quite sure it will soon!

    Funny that you are trying it on your BenQ E2220HD monitor...I just did the same. I picked up my monitor today, hooked it into the Toshiba laptop, and everything worked perfect at 1919 x 1080. Use the auto-adjust feature after doing everythign else.

    As for your issue, you have to remove the current Intel software package before you install the new package. As he said in the post, download the latest Intel software package as a .ZIP, save it to your desktop or something, make all of the changes, and then run setup.

  15. Thanks for the clear instructions. They worked for me but I have a question: I have a toshiba satellite with an intel gm950 and set the resolution to 1919x1080 which works with my hp2509 monitor. But WinDVD10 does not upscale the resolution (i imagine because it does not see 1920x1080 as a possible resolution). I would like to get a blu-ray drive to be able to play movies at 1080p but am unsure if it will do this given the one missing pixel. Any advice?

  17. Hi, stupid question, what does latest VGA driver mean?

    if I download the latest driver for my chipset Intel® 82852/82855 Graphics Controller Family I dont find any graphics folder, nor any igdlh.inf

    The only .inf I find is ialmnt5.inf, and it does not have the section you mention. what am I missing? thanks

  20. Great tut, thanks. But I have a little problem: somehow the picture isn't as clear as it could be. I've tried the Auto correction, but it didn't work. Now I'm using it with some manual correction, but not so perfect.

  22. FOR INFO:

    I have a Dell Dimension 3100 desktop with an Intel 82915G/82910GL chipset which has the capability of supporting 1920x1080. I was not able to apply your procedure to allow this, because it only seems to work with an "Intel" driver. Our current driver is a Dell version and is not a clean Intel driver. When I tried to upgrade to the latest Intel driver I was told by Intel to go to my OEM site. The latest Dell driver does not have the file igxp32.inf that you refer to but oem34.inf in the windows/inf folder. When I made the changes you outlined to this file they did not result in allowing me to get 1920x1080 on a 23 inch Samsung SyncMaster 2333SW monitor. I was able to connect this monitor to two laptops and one other desktop and got 1920x1080 on each with only standard Windows adjustments.

    Dell has apparently put in a barrier to making changes of the type you outline in your well documented and obviously effective procedure. I am giving up on trying after days of effort and will return the monitor.

    Thanks for the procedure anyway.

  26. Thank you so much for helping me to find a solution for displaying 1919x1080 resolution on my Viewsonic VX2260wm monitor connected to my Dell Latitude D410 with an Intel 915 graphics card. The Dell laptop would not permit Setup from Intel to run, so I had to download the latest video drivers from Dell website and edit ialmnt5.inf instead of igxp32.inf. If you want to do the same then replace the steps above as follows:-

    Step 5
    Download VGA driver package R137843.EXE from Dell support website

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R137843&SystemID=LAT_PNT_PM_D410&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=3526&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=6&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=184276

    Download or use 7-zip to open the package and open & edit the file
    ialmnt5.inf in the Win2000 directory as described in Step 6. Make sure you save the edited file back to the package.

    Step 12
    Open control panel....
    Uninstall original Intel Graphics Accelerator Driver
    restart your laptop.....
    then install the custom Driver using the custom R137843.EXE
    restart your laptop.....

    I finally have 1919x1080 on my Dell D410 (intel 915).
    For windows XP, I used the newest driver for XP on dell support site then modified. It this way works in XP.

    For Seven, it does not work (I don't know the reason) : installation OK but no 1919x1080 resolution but I found a way to do it:

    In fact, after the driver installation, at step 9, by using DTD calculator, I found an option named Registry Hack. With all parameters for 1919x1080 on the left panel, I clicked on "Write DTDs to Registry" then rebooted. I finally found the 1919x1080 resolution.

    Hope this help someone.

  51. Thanks a lot. I am also a Dell latitude d410 user, and I have 1919 x 1080 working on my dell s2209w via VGA port. (The monitor actually says it is 1920, but the driver settings say 1919.

    I am very grateful to you. I wish you all the best.

    I think there are effectively two chips in the D410 and that is why it installs the driver twice. Maybe related to the LCD panel, and the external vga port?

    Using kmplayer it looks like 720p hd video playback is working. Now if only I could figure out how to overclock my d410 a bit to get up to 1080p ;-)

  52. Hello everybody (sorry for my english).
    In my opinion, you don't must modify your *.cfg file.
    In my case, this is not work in Windows 7.
    Just follow step 12 in this instruction and install graphics drivers.
    I use only DTD Calculator (Registry Hack tab) and MonInfo.
    Calculate your DTD and simply press 'Get Calculated' and then 'Write DTDs to registry'. Don't forgot launch program via administrator privileges (run as administrator).

  53. My mistake... *.inf, not *.cfg.

  54. Absolutely brilliant man! I bought a new monitor for my Toshiba laptop (Satellite M110 with 945GM Chipset) the other day and it would only do 1600x1050. My wife rolling her eyes at me. I spent days looking for a solution from Intel, started looking for a USB Video adapter online but then I found this. My inf file was called kit20477.inf and 1920x1080 did not appear in my list, but 1919x1080 works fine.
    Thank you so much for this tutorial, saved me some $$$ on the USB adapter. I am saving this in case I might hack some other inf files in the future.

  56. Nice post, but it doesn't work properly for me. I'd rather say: for my Dell ST2210 (st**id) LCD monitor.

    I've got Dell Inspiron 1300 with 910/915 (they don't know themselves) chipset - and Intel drivers cannot be installed here. Except "great" (old) Dell drivers. But this is not an issue as installer creates "Dell" directory and you can find needed INF file to be edited there. File is named "ialmnt5.inf", so I've made changes accordingly in steps 5 & 11.
    My laptop didn't allow to use FullHD resolution, so I had to add custom 1919x1080 - it works as this resolution appears in drop-down menu.

    Final thing is my st**id Dell LCD monitor covers full screen, but with GRAY BORDERS. Before this tweak, I have had 1400x1080 resolution as a maximum and this st**id (I underline this again, to make people aware to avoid this model) monitor displayed centered screen with BLACK BORDERS (black = inactive area). Now they are gray (active) and working desktop area is scalled down a bit, so I think there's some way to make them working as full area with NO BORDERS. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make it.

    This st**id LCD monitor shows me BORDERS even during POST, BIOS screen, or bootselector. Avoid it, remember :)

  57. I have a toshiba 46xv640uz HDTV (46"). I'm beginning to suspect that its VGA bus can only support sxga. The panel can do 1080p for sure, but the MonInfo and DMD interpreter both seem to suggest the 1360x 768 is the max supported resolution. Does anyone know whether this 'hack' can over come this?

    The laptop works with a dell monitor at 1920x1080p ...

    Thanks for your help

    1. I have just connected up my laptop and a Toshiba 32LV933G and I am having the same issue. Moninfo reports the maximum resolution as 1360x768. Depending on what response I get from their technical support this may well be the last time that I will trust Toshiba enough to buy one of their products.

  59. Thanks so much! I bought my Dell S2309W Monitor back in November 2008 and haven't been able to use to the maximum resolution on my Laptop with Win XP until I read this post tonight. I attempted to do this before but this blog helped me to do it (I think overall I must have wasted about 6 hours on several other occasions).

    On a different point, on this same laptop I have Linux install and Linux actually has the correct resolution by default for some reason :S

    Thanks so much.:)

  60. Dell Dimension 3100 for a Samsung SyncMaster P2770 (P2770FH). I did all the above steps and like another poster above was prevented by Dell from using the Setup.exe for the igxp32.inf driver. Frustrated, but determined, I tried this: I re-installed Dell's own .exe for the Intel 82915G chipset which put all back to the distorted 1900x1200. But, then I went to the device manager (R click My Computer, Hardware), selected the Display adapter, went to Update Driver, but this time pointed to the newly revised igxp32.inf driver within the Intel Graphics folder that the above instructions had us do. Now, I was met with warning after warning, a reboot, and then in display settings 1919x1080! SUCCESS! Hope this helps

  61. Excellent, many thanks! Your guide worked! Got 1919x1080p working with Lenovo T60 laptop (using VGA cable to external fullhd lcd).

    As there are more details in comments, you should read comments in this page as well if you have problems with this fix. I took first 18 hex / DTD code pairs from Monitor Asset Manager program (my settings did not have three "00" appearing as in example with red color, so used 18 pairs instead from same start position, that guide shows).

    - Then downloaded from Intel driver package (Zip-file) for Mobile Intel 945 GM Express Chipset from intel pages
    - Extracted driver package zip, overwrote modified .inf file to extracted file folder (it was in Graphics folder for xp-package).
    - Control panel -> Add/remove programs -> Uninstall Intel video driver -> Reboot
    - After reboot to exracted files folder -> setup.exe to start Intel video drives install (now using modified .inf file)
    - After setup and reboot, in Intel driver settings page (blue backgrounded settings page), there is now option to choose 1919x1080p (there was now 1920z1080p option, but this 1 pixel different setting works fine)

    Thanks a lot for this guide

  62. after first installation it didn't work for me

    luckily while uninstalling Intel Drivers I noticed that igdlh.b.inf was being uninstalled instead of igdlh.inf (igdlh.b.inf was backup of the original driver - I always make backup during such operations... it was my girlfriend's computer so extension wasn't set to be visible and I didn't want to waste time, otherwise I would have renamed it to igdlh.inf.b ie. using total commander if it were my computer)

    after moving igdlh.b.inf to desktop (out of the drivers folder) warning that unknown drivers are going to be installed appeared (actually a positive warning)

    now 1919x1080 works just perfect!

    I am still not getting however how is that possible that Intel Driver Installer likes the original *.inf file with a random file name better than properly-named customized driver but that's how it is... seemingly all the folder is being searched through and verified intel made *.inf files are preffered

  68. Hi, I have managed to get 1920x1080 but only at 25hz... just cant seem to get 60hz as an option, can anyone help?

    ReplyDelete

  69. Bob here. I was skeptical whether this was going to work, but it works like a gem for Win7. Getting the 1919x1080 at 60hz. Took a little bit of time to go through this since i'v never attempted this before, but it was well worth it!

  70. Hi there!

    It just worked for my Toshiba Satelite U300-130 on a SyncMaster P2470LHD, using the extended desktop mode and the 1919x1080/60Hz/32BitColor setting.
    Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial, I was looking for hours for a solution with no luck.

    Many thanks,
    John

  71. I have a 6yr old Dell Inspiron2200, and bought a 23" Samsung monitor. This process worked, and I now have a 1919x1080 resolution setting in my graphics accelerator app. Easy to follow, except for me the file .inf file was "ialmnt5". I figured that out, made the changes. Thanks for taking the time to put this procedure together.
    Best regards, JD

  72. Brilliant! Thanks for this. Had found other articles on how to change the DTD on my Dell Dimension 5000 with Intel 915G and had changed to 1920x1080. But screen was fizzing and monitor said it was receiving interlaced. Added a 1919 to the inf file and now 1920 is okay but too tall (?) but 1919 is perfect. Thanks again

  73. The 1919x1080 trick worked for me! Thanks to this guide I have now have dual 1080p monitors connected to my Dell Latitude XT2 (GM45 4500MHD) with the media base via DVI and VGA :P ... tyvm!

  74. It's OK, but in that case

    "2. Install MonInfo.....
    connect your LCD monitor...
    install LCD monitor driver...
    open MonInfo Start > All Programs > MonInfo > MonInfo
    Select your Full HD 1080p LCD Display ID....

    then copy numbers in green... click here for larger picture..."

    You were wrong. This numbers for DELL Ultrasharp were not capable of decoding at all. I generate this numbers in DTD Calc on first tab by decoding. Some troubles in this step may occure, if green numbers are bad (dont know why this happened in my case). All after is good. But this numbers. There should be another way to get them. And I did it.
