I have found out the native resolution for my external display is 1680x1050. Windows does not have a drop down option for this resolution so im currently driving it at 1440x900. The display is over HDMI from my laptop with Intel integrated graphics. Is there a way to manually type in 1680x1050 as a resolution to avoid blurred pixels?

Thank you for your time if you answer :)

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Windows settings does not natively support custom resolutions, but you should be able to set that resolution using these steps.

    Right click your Desktop and on the resulting menu, open the Intel Graphics Centre or Command Centre.

    In that Intel utility, there should be an option to apply a custom resolution.

    Thank you! I think I've figured out that my TV is so wonky that it only inputs 1440x900 scaled to 1680x1050. I looked and didn't find anything
