FAQ
TL;DR: HDMI 1.0’s 165 MHz link supports 1080p/60; “sufficient to allow 1080p … at 60 Hz.” If 1920×1080 is missing on an LG M2762DP with an AMD R7 370, switch from VGA to HDMI and set 1080p in AMD Software. [HDMI]
Why it matters: This FAQ helps Windows 10 users fix “no 1920×1080” issues on LG M2762DP and similar displays, fast.
Quick Facts
- LG FLATRON M2762DP is a 27-inch, 16:9, Full HD (1920×1080) monitor with HDMI input. [LG]
- HDMI 1.0 already carries 1080p at 60 Hz; later versions add higher bandwidth headroom. [HDMI]
- AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition lets you add custom display modes when a monitor’s EDID blocks 1080p. [AMD DH3-032]
- Custom modes don’t work in Duplicate displays/Eyefinity; use a single display when creating them. [AMD DH-032]
- Analog VGA can misreport EDID, limiting Windows to 1600×1200/1600×900; digital links avoid this. [AMD Community]
How do I get 1920×1080 working on an LG M2762DP with an AMD R7 370?
Use a digital cable. Unplug VGA and connect HDMI from the GPU to the monitor. Reboot, then set 1920×1080 in Windows or AMD Software. This exact switch fixed the issue in the referenced thread. [Setting FULLHD 1920x1080 Resolution on LG FLATRON M2762DP…]
Why does switching from VGA to HDMI fix missing 1080p?
VGA is analog and EDID over VGA can be unreliable, so Windows may only offer safe modes. HDMI uses digital signaling with reliable EDID, exposing 1920×1080 automatically. “Connect the HDMI cable” solved the case discussed. [Setting FULLHD 1920x1080 Resolution on LG FLATRON M2762DP…]
Does the LG M2762DP actually support Full HD natively?
Yes. It’s a 27-inch, 16:9 panel with a native 1920×1080 resolution and HDMI input, designed to run at that mode. [LG]
What cable should I use for 1080p on this setup—HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort?
Use HDMI or DVI-D for 1080p/60; HDMI 1.0 already supports that bandwidth. DisplayPort also works if available. Digital links avoid analog EDID issues and image softening. [HDMI]
How do I set 1920×1080 in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition? (3 steps)
- Open AMD Software > Display.
- Under Resolution/Custom Resolutions, add or select 1920×1080 @ 60 Hz.
- Apply and confirm the change, then keep settings. [AMD DH3-032]
1920×1080 still isn’t listed after switching to HDMI—what next?
Create a custom 1920×1080 mode in AMD Software. Ensure only one display is active and avoid Duplicate/Eyefinity while adding it. Not all displays accept all timings. [AMD DH-032]
Why did Windows only show 1600×1200 and 1600×900 before?
Windows reads the monitor’s EDID to list safe modes. Over VGA, EDID can be incomplete, so you only see limited options. Switching to HDMI exposed 1920×1080 in the thread case. [Setting FULLHD 1920x1080 Resolution on LG FLATRON M2762DP…]
What is 1080p, exactly?
1080p (Full HD) is 1920×1080 progressive scan, totaling 2,073,600 pixels. Many TVs and monitors use this as their native mode. [1080p]
Can a DVI‑I to VGA adapter block 1080p?
Yes. DVI‑I can output analog via adapters, putting you back on the VGA path. That can limit EDID and reduce image clarity; prefer DVI‑D/HDMI digital. [DVI connectors overview]
Is 1080p at 60 Hz the best setting for the M2762DP?
Yes. The M2762DP is specified for 1920×1080; 60 Hz is the typical desktop refresh for this model. Use HDMI to match its native resolution. [LG]
I don’t see AMD Catalyst Control Center on right‑click—what should I install?
Install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition for your GPU and Windows 10. After installation, open it from Start and set display options there. [AMD DH3-032]
Quick recovery: after a clean Windows install my resolution is wrong—what’s the fastest fix?
Connect via HDMI, install the latest AMD driver/software, reboot, then select 1920×1080. This sequence restored Full HD in the documented case. [Setting FULLHD 1920x1080 Resolution on LG FLATRON M2762DP…]
