I have the following scenario:
- Laptop: Dell Latitude E6420 i7 with Intel HD Graphics 3000
- Monitor: 30' Dell 3007WFP (up to 2560x1600 resolution)
- Docking Station: Dell e-port replicator T308d
- Adapter: Dell Display Port To DVI-D Adapter Cable DP/N 023NVR
Problem: The 30" monitor Maximum resolution available is 1280x800.
Question:
Let's say I can't get the monitor's 2560x1600 resolution with this Intel integrated HD3000 card or with the e-port replicator because the laptop doesn't have native DVI-D Dual Link, I should be able to get at least 1920x1080 by the Display port. Any fix to get better resolution than 1280x800?
Some of the steps taken so far:
- The monitor only has a DVI-D Dual Link port so I'm using a DVI-D Dual link to DVI-D Dual Link cable to connect to the docking station, won't work, I read somewhere that the e-port replicator is actually DVI-D Single Link inside so won't work because the monitor needs native DVI-D Dual Link.
- Using the same DVI-D Dual Link to DVI-D dual link cable, but this time I add a DVI-D Dual link to Display port adapter and connect to the Display port port in the e-port replicator, still the same issue.
- Connect directly to the laptop using DVI-D Dual Link to HDMI cable, still the same.
- Also tried manually adding custom resolutions in the Intel Graphics Control Panel like 1920x1800, or using 50p Hz Refresh Rate, 30p Hz, etc. timing standard CVT or GTF or CVT-RB. When I apply those custom settings the monitor's screen goes black like if it doesn't support it so it changes back to 1280x800.
- All Drivers are up to date.
Help will be greatly appreciated! -
