I have a Samsung SyncMaster SA100 monitor which I got after my good old CRT failed. The CRT had a maximum supported resolution of 1024x768 and the Samsung has 1366x768. However, when I connect the Samsung monitor, the maximum resolution detected by the PC is 1024x768 (as seen in the Screen Resolution window).

Using the information given here, I changed the EDID to add support for 1360x765 which is what my monitor is currently set to. But the Phoenix EDID Tool doesn't allow me to set the horizontal resolution to any arbitrary value (its either 1360 or 1368 i.e. multiples of 8 only).

Is it possible to set/force the monitor resolution to 1366x768?

Sometimes when switching to a different external monitor Windows doesn't realise it and limits the new monitor to the resolutions the old one supported. I've had this problem myself a couple of times. To remedy it, go to the Screen Resolution control panel and click the Detect button. This should force Windows to redetect the display and its supported resolutions.

If that doesn't work, look around in your graphics driver settings. AMD/ATI Catalyst Control Center should let you manually specify the maximum resolution (and refresh rate) for each monitor.
