  1. How do I set custom resolution for Intel HD 5500


    My laptop specs are:
    i5-5200u
    Intel HD 5500/GT 940m
    8gb ram
    15.6" 720p display

    Whenever I try to set a 1080p custom resolution via graphics properties i get the error, "this resolution exceeds the maximum bandwidth capacity". After a whole day of googling i have found nothing but Intel shifting the blame to manufacturer for limiting the hardware, I understand this is a driver issue as iGPU do not support custom resolution like all their competitor does, ATI/AMD/NVIDIA.

    So i just want to try my luck here and see if there is any other solutions, I purchased this laptop this morning and really like everything except the resolution, its a hard pill to swallow after experiencing dual 24" 1080p displays and really limits my productivity on campus. Any help or replies (even if its to confirm there is no existing solution to make me finally give up) will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    in case you are wondering why i went for the inferior resolution, the laptop i got was too good of a deal to pass up and a similar spec at 1080p will cost $400+ more. right now i am regretting the decision every passing moment *Sad

    :)

    screen size on windows 10 desktop

    Hmmm . . .

    Right click your Desktop, can you access Intel HD Graphics Control Panel form there?

    If not beside the clock on your Taskbar, you can access it from there (you might have to click the up arrow) - right click that and open the Intel HD Control Panel

    Choose Advanced Mode

    Somewhere on that Control Panel (it is different for each Intel HD model) you can set Resolution - check each different resolution setting and see if one fits your Monitor

    You might even have to set a custom resolution - do you know the resolution your 22" TV is supposed to run at - set custom resolution to that . . .

    Intel HD Graphics 5500 card Not Fully Compatible with Windows 10??

    I have an Intel HD 5500 in a Radius P55W laptop and still having issues. Tried installing the Intel 5500 driver but it keeps stopping saying the device reported a problems (code 43) in Windows 10... Generic MS driver works but with very limited functionality
    (don't seem able to change resolution, can't connect external display and video playback is VERY slow).

    Hoping for resolution soon!

    How do I set custom resolution for Intel HD 5500

    Since nearly all Notebooks have fixed hardware versus Desktops where things can be changed I'm afraid you would have to take advantage of the seller's return policy and try to get a Notebook that more nearly meets your needs. There are some that offer dual video adapters but I haven't checked them out yet.

  5. thank you for your reply, looks like i'll have to get used to it then, making font size and icon smaller seems to help abit. Also, do you know if Intel will ever release a driver that supports custom resolution? It just doesn't make sense, the technology is clearly there and it serves zero purpose to not release it to its customers

    It doesn't really depend upon the technology being available but mostly up to the decisions between the device maker [motherboard, graphics chip, etc.], case maker, designers, programmers, etc., and the vendor of the computers and what they want to sell and support. It all boils down to what a person wants in a car, house, appliances and other items that cause folks to shop for something that meets their requirements and can provide it then figure out how to get it. I think I'd look around the 'net for a Gamer forum that may have help, after all the gamers are always after the latest, greatest and fastest equipment.

    try turning your frequency down ie lower than 50 or 60hz (it will look horrible but itll probably work *Wink ) you are indeed exceeding your maximum bandwidth capacity because its taking into account pixel count and refresh rate and your gpu cant cope *Wink

    I am assuming that your display can do 1080p btw *Wink
