Ok, I've been tearing out my hair over this and would seriously like some help.
quick and dirty computer setup:
win7 7057 build 64bit
samsung 40inch LCD tv (120hz 1080p)
radeon 4870 512mb video card hooked to display via VGA input
dual core e4500 @ 3.0ghz
4 gig ddr2 ram
Now, my problem is that Win7 doesn't let me use my recommended resolution on my display. I've tried several different driver releases for my video card as well as the clean install Microsoft drivers and nothing works. My install of Vista 64 has no problems whatsoever displaying any and all resolutions I throw at it but Windows 7 just hates me for some reason and refuses to display @ 1920x1080 60hz, or 59hz (60 is what should be supported but it lists both in display settings.) I'm also getting some other random resolutions in display settings that should not be there as they are clearly not supported by my display.
What do I need to do to get this to run at 1920x1080?? I'm not dumb with computers but this is something I can not for the life of me figure out. I could care less about random resolutions being in my selection menu but I really want to see my desktop and play games at the resolution my display is designed to run them at.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
