I tried this tool and it shows me the native resolution of the monitor as soon as I open the tool:

That means your hardware doesn't support the pixel clock required for the resolution. This is usually the case with laptops that have Intel GPUs. If you can use DisplayPort, use that instead. If not, try adding 3440x1440 @ 56 Hz.

But more importantly I need this because I find my laptop screen is too small for its native 1920x1080, but the next smaller res is 1680x1050, which is too big. I've narrowed down my ideal resolution to 1840x1035, which is an awkward number... but if I can figure out the right settings in CRU, I'd be set for life lol.

That's not the same problem. Laptops usually don't support non-native resolutions without GPU scaling. See if Intel's graphics control panel has scaling options.

Now nothing launches, and every time I launch an executable to fullscreen outside the desktop, my monitor states that the timings are incorrect for every resolution I have and shuts off. This includes the stock refresh rates (60, 120, 164) that came with the monitor.

I have tried setting the Timings in CRU to PC (Automatic), but considering how everything was working before and now doesn't, it shouldn't have an effect, and predictably, it did indeed do nothing. ****.

The monitor might not support other refresh rates, but I don't see why that would affect the stock refresh rates. All I can think of is it might be related to FreeSync, but FreeSync is supposed to use the refresh rate you set as the base. Maybe it's an NVIDIA driver bug.

I'm not sure which driver is responsible for the brightness but it might be Intel's graphics driver. Windows update might have updated the driver to a newer version that has the problem.

Thx for the quick reply! I ordered a USB-C to DisplayPort cable yesterday. Should arrive today. I'll keep you posted!

Hello,

The software works fine on my pc, but when I shut down the pc and turn it on again the screen resolution configuration returns to the basic one and not the one I had configured in the software and a parameter graphic.

When I restart it stays, but when I stop the pc and turn it back on it doesn't stay.

Can you help me please ?

I use a HDMI cable.

Thank you in advance !

The cable did the trick! Problem solved! Thx

What GPU? Try turning off Windows fast startup.

Just got a Acer Predator X25, 360Hz Monitor. Trying to get a 1750 x 1080 stretched res setup. I used the same method with my BenQ ZOWIE XL2546s 240hz and it worked perfectly. Although when trying to use it with this monitor, the resolution doesn't show up in the "list all modes" area and ultimately doesn't let me use the resolution. I also noticed I can't input 360hz, the text turns red and doesn't let me confirm. Also 360hz doesn't show up in the extension block, another user said to check the display tab but there's nothing there. Considering returning the monitor, I have been getting stutters and FPS drops, I want to see if I can get this thing to stretched res to see if it fixes the stutters.

Is this potentially going to be fixed in a future update?
