View source for How to set resolution higher than 1024x768 in Windows 7

By default the Windows 7 display driver duplicates the display on LVDS and SDVO outputs thus limiting resolution to 1024x768.

=== To allow for higher resolutions ===
* Right click on desktop and select '''Screen resolution'''
* In '''Multiple displays''' select '''Show desktop only on 2''' and press '''Apply'''
* Under '''Resolution''' select the desired resolution out of the ones your display supports.
