Latitude E5570 - Resolution issue
Hello, this is my first post and hopefully someone can help me with my problem.
Here at work I've had a Dell Latitude E6530 i5 since I started six months ago. Being a graphic designer I soon realized it wasn't powerful enough, so our IT department just got me a Dell Latitude E5570 i7 which apparently is supposed to be better in my line of work.
I use the laptop screen as a secondary screen, and have a bigger Dell screen as my primary screen.
Now to my problem; on my old Latitude E6530 I used a 1600 x 900 resolution, which I thought was perfect. Now, with the Latitude E5570, I can only get 1366 x 768, which I don't really like.
So is there any way I can get the same resolution in my E5570?
I'm taking the risk of getting bashed across the head here, but I've been a Mac dude all my life so I don't have much experience in the rest of the computer world. Hopefully someone can assist me anyway, so I thank you in advance, cheers :-)

It sounds like they got the version with the low end screen. You can't go any higher then the screen is built for and from what I can tell, the model either comes with a 720p panel which is what you have, or 1080p panel.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.
Actually the old and the new laptop are exactly the same size if I put them next to each other. But maybe there is a difference in the screen resolutions.

The screen type and resolution will show up in system setup (F2 at powerup) and on the original configuration list (support.dell.com, enter service tag, original configuration).
