What's the maximum Screen Resolution (Windows 7) on a T410?

[PaulHannan]

Hi,

I got a new Lenovo T410 laptop (Type 2252-AT6) which came with WinXP. I upgraded to Windows 7 but found that the screen resolution was really limited. The maximum I'm able to get is 1440 X 900 which is very disappointing as the WinXP install previous on the same machine was much better.

I tried installing all the video drivers from the downloads from the Lenovo support but none appear to help.

Is that the maximum I can get Win7? And do I have to go back to WinXP to get the better screen resolution on the same machine.

Appreciate any replies.

Regards,

Paul.

you mean that is the maximum screen resolution on the internal LCD? or the external screen?

The internal LCD screen - the one on the laptop. Can anything be done?

T410's WXGA+ can only support a maximum of 1440x900 resolution. There is nothing you can do about that.

Was I just imagining that it was better in WinXP? Switching back to WinXP to find out.

Thanks for your help BTW - much appreciated.

Regards.

it may seem better in the Win XP, but there is no actual difference in resolution.
