Default Max Resolution Incorrect

I have a 3-display setup using DisplayLink for display #3. The other two are attached to the PC (a Lenovo 0266-A23) via native ports on the device, and are working properly. The DisplayLink display does not offer the correct native resolution (1920x1080); it instead only shows 1680x1050 as the max and thus is a bit fuzzier than displays 1 and 2.

This has occurred on two separate Lenovo PCs, both running Windows 7. The graphics and monitor drivers are current and have been reinstalled; the DisplayLink core software has also been installed clean on both PCs.

I have also swapped out DVI cables so it is not a cabling issue, and since it has occurred on two separate PCs, I strongly doubt it is a software issue. Why am I unable to get the native resolution on my third display?

If this question has been answered before, my apologies, I searched the forums and did not find any resolution.

Different DisplayLink devices support different maximum resolutions. You probably either have:

1. A device based on the DL-160, that does not support 1920x1080 or
2. A device based on the DL-165, and the monitor actually supports 1920x1080, but the monitors native resolution is 1920x1200, which is not supported by the DL-165.

If you can post your logs, I can see what modes your device supports and what modes the monitor supports.

Which logs are you looking for? Oddly the device itself does not have any identifying information similar to what you've described, but if you can tell me what logs you're looking for I will be glad to post them.

The LG display has a native resolution of 1920x1080, so I'm guessing the limitation is hardware-based. It is model W2246.

Default Similar problem with Diamond MM BVUMD3 and HP ZR2740 display

I am having a similar problem with my external Diamond MM BVUMD3 and an HP 27" IPS display. While I can understand if the top resolution is not supported, I would hope I could at least get 1900x1080.

Thanks in advance for your support.

I have attached my log

Your adapter contains the DL-160, which has a maximum resolution of 1680x1050. This is why 1920x1080 is not available.

I have attached my log
The monitor you have connected only reports 2 supported modes:

Display Modes
=============
1280x720x24@60
2560x1440x24@60

As the top mode is not supported by your adapter, 1280x720 will be the highest resolution available for this display.

Thanks Wim, I had received only the adapter from our inventory guru, no specs or manual included. Good to know it's not some weird Windows thing or software issue.
