The problem lies not with the screen, but with the graphics card. You need to ensure that your graphics card can support the native resolution of the LCD.


Huh, ok, thanks for the information, but do you know how could i know whether my graphic card support the native resolution of the LCD please (i have a NVIDIA Geforce 4MX AGP8X 128Mb and i use proprietary driver) ?

Graphics card manufacturers usually publish a chart of supported resolution and refresh rates. A quick look didn't turn up anything on the nVidia website, but you should be able to find it there. Or perhaps in the printed documentation that came with the card.

It might be in the documentation that from the proprietary driver package, too.
