2560 x 1440 not working

[Asshh]

Hi,

I recently bought a Dell U2711H. I'm using DVI-D to connect it to my motherboard. The BIOS and bootloader are all displayed fine until I get into the login screen, and then it starts showing multiple screens with interlaced lines across the monitor.

I still have a 1080p monitor on hand, but I'd to be using this ASAP.

I would appreciate some help!

Ash.

It would help if you posted your hardware info.. With that said if you are using onboard GFX it won't support 2560x1440, you'll need a suitable GFX card.

HI,

Yes I'm only using the built in Intel HD 4000. Is there a cheap card you could suggest that will get this working.

Cheers for the help.

Not true! intel HD4000 can easily drive an 2560 x 1440 display! Use the display port! Atleast that is what i've heard! If your monitor doesn't support displayport it is very easy to get an adapter! IT WILL COST YOU LIKE 5 BUCKS!

Found this! Maybe it helps?

Hd4000 should support 2560x1440 over display port.

Are you using a regular DVI cable or a dual-link DVI cable? 1920x1200 is the highest you'll get out of HDMI or single-DVI

I can confirm 2560 x 1440 resolution from HD4000, but you must use displayport or dual-link DVI. I currently run it from the Thunderbolt port (mini-displayport) on my GA-Z77-UP5 TH.
