Hi my friend has an oldish monitor that's 19" but windows detects it as a 17". This is causing the OS to set the wrong native setting.

Has anyone ever come across this issue?

Cheers.

It doesn't save the res and boots up in an unsupported one

I have it on my very old dell 22" screen it plays at 1440 x 900 when it should play at 1680 x 1050. I looked for drivers (none around) and help pages and no one can fix it on theirs either.

Did you try tweaking it on the control panel for your gpu? Checking the resolution, scaling, stuff like that?

Tried every solution, reinstalled the OS twice, checked every component. Sent the mobo for RMA

Did you check the scaling?

I'm about 95% sure that's the problem.
