Windows 10: New Graphics Card Compatible with Viewsonic VP2770 Monitor

I have a Viewsonic monitor model VP2770 operating at its maximum resolution of 2560x1440 pixels via a DVD-DL cable. The monitor has the following digital inputs:

DVI-D Dual Link
Display Port 1.2
HDMI 1.4 (max 1920x1080 for PC or 2560x1440 for Mac)

New high resolution graphics cards generally have some of the following inputs:

DisplayPort 1.4
HDMI 2.0
USB-C
DVI-DL (not common)

Of the above, I can't use HDMI or USB-C on my monitor. I should be OK using a DVI-DL input but this interface is not present on many new cards. I could use the DisplayPort 1.4 output but my monitor has a DisplayPort 1.2 connection. Will a new graphics card using DisplayPort 1.4 have any problems displaying at 2560x1440 pixels using the DisplayPort 1.2 connection on my monitor?

I'm mystified why the VP2770 specification only supports a PC at 1920x1080 pixels but supports a Mac at 2560x1440 pixels.

Viewsonic monitor compatibility with Windows 10

Hi Mark,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I will definitely assist you.

Let's try simple steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue.
I would suggest you try updating Display driver from Device Manager manually and check if it helps. Try the below steps:

• 
  Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  Click and expand “Display Adaptor”.
  
• 
  Right click on the device driver and select
  update.
  
• 
  Once update is done, restart the computer.
  

If the issue still persist, I would recommend you to contact Viewsonic
VA2231WM-LED manufacturer and check if they have the latest driver which is compatible with Windows 10. If the latest driver is not available for Windows 10 you can buy a new monitor which is compatible with Windows 10.

Viewsonic monitor compatibility with Windows 10

I've just upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7, and I'm using a Viewsonic VA2231wm-LED monitor. Once Windows 10 was booted up, I discovered I cannot set the resolution to the recommended 1920x1080. Viewsonic doesn't seem to have a driver available for this
monitor and Windows 10. Is there anything I can do besides wait until Viewsonic develops an appropriate driver, or buy a new monitor that will give this resolution in Windows 10?

Thanks for your help!
