x121e only distorted display with available settings [ Edited ]

[FalkH]

Hi,

I just bought a x121e (Product Code 30515QG) and I am having problems with the display quality.

Setting it to the only available high resolution of 1024x768 everything seems to be distorted. Every circular icon looks elliptic... Same with the only other available setting of 800x600.

Am I missing a driver or what could be the problem?

Any help appreciated...

Thanks, Falk

1024x768 and 800x600 are 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions, your display should be running at 1366x768, which is 16:9 aspect ratio, hence everything is distorted badly.

Have you tried running the Think Vantage Software Updater to see if it will possibly find the proper driver?

Thanks for the reply!

I have run the ThinkVantage Applikation a number of times, and it now says,that there ain't any further updates.

Problem still remains.

I bought the machine with just DOS installed - and obviously a lot of drivers missing.

I then installed Windows 7 Professional, used another machine to get the Wireless and Ethernet drivers, installed ThinkVantage and ran it. Everything worked out fine... ...apart from the resolution.

Unless I find the exact driver, I don't think I will solve this problem. Any idea where I could get help?

Assuming you are using the Win7 Pro 64bit, try this...

Hi there,

Under your configuration settings you should be able to find 'Intell media control' (or something like that). If you click it you'll  have to search for the option 'scaling' in relation to your screen.  My guess is that if you uncheck  this option your problem should be solved.

Have you installed the LCD driver yet?  I know it's primary purpose is usually just the ICC profiles and whatnot, but it also defines the maximum resolution the monitor can take if for some reason no/incorrect DCC info is being passed back to the graphics chip.
