Can no longer get maximum resolution on U2713HM now that I have a new laptop E7440

Hi,

I recently got a new laptop which seems unable to drive the monitor to max resolution like my four year old laptop could.

Old setup:

  Dell U2713HM monitor

  Dell Latitude E6430

  Dual DVI cable

  Windows 7

  Maximum resolution with DVI: 2560 x 1440

New setup:

  Dell U2713HM monitor

  Dell Latitude E7440

  Dual DVI cable

  Windows 10

  Maximum resolution via DVI: 1920 x 1200   <-- this is the problem

  Maximum resolution via DisplayPort: 2560 x 1440

The monitor only has one DisplayPort and it's usually plugged into another laptop so without constantly swapping cables I can't get the maximum resolution. I want the E7440 to achieve the maximum resolution through DVI, as it was before. The monitor, cable and docking station were capable of this with a four year old laptop so should be with a brand new one.


Any ideas?


Cheers,

Chris

Unfortunately, there is no DVI port on the Latitude E7440. What are you connecting to on the computer?

Hi Jesse,

Sorry I appear to have forgotten to mention that I'm using a docking station. This is the same docking station in both "new" and "old" setups, above.

The docking station has 2 x DVI ports, connected to the monitor via a dual-link DVI cable.

Thanks,

Chris
