I am using windows 7, and ati 7850 display card.



I would like to use the computer without monitor , and when I use teamviewer to control it, I found that the monitor detect is VGA , and the maximum resolution is 1600 * 1200 (60hz) or 1920 * 1080 (30hz).



Any idea about this? Since when I would like to use steam for game streaming it only let me select the 1600 * 1200, and there is no 1920 * 1080 choice, therefore, how can I set 1920 * 1080 60hz without monitor?



Thanks

    That's odd. It shouldn't detect a display at all. What are you using for game streaming?

  • I don't think that the monitor being present or not is significant. If you connect a monitor, what is the maximum resolution allowed? Have you looked in Windows Update, optional section, for updates to the video driver? You could also check the dricer using the AMD Driver Autodetect.

Are you connecting a monitor or a TV?



Below are some methods that could perhaps solve the problem,
singly or several together :



Method 1 : Use a tool to force the resolution



Here are some command line tools that can change the screen resolution :
QRes, NirCmd, Display Changer.



Method 2 : Registry updates



Search the registry for DefaultSettings.XResolution, DefaultSettings.YResolution and BitsPerPixel and change
to the desired resolution.



If necessary, add ColorDepth for RDP connection :




[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTTerminal Services]
"ColorDepth"=dword:00000003 in decimal.




More info can be found here.



Method 3 : Setting the video adapter to custom setting



If your VGA video driver has customizing software, you could do something similar to:



image



Method 4 : Use a fake video plug



If it becomes necessary to fool Windows into believing that a real
monitor is attached, see this tutorial on how to create such a plug using
a spare DVI-VGA adapter and three 68 ohm resistors:
The 30 Second Dummy Plug.



enter image description here



Method 5 : Use PowerStrip (shareware, $29.95)



The PowerStrip utility allows you to gain complete control over the video card.

For more details see :
Customize monitor resolution settings with PowerStrip.

    here is a copy & paste form this form:



    First set desired resolution using:




    ControlPanel → Display → Screen Resolution.




    Also set ColorDepth using:




    ControlPanel→ Display → Screen Resolution → Advance Settings → Monitor → Color




    After this in regedit, manually search for DefaultSettings.XResolution, DefaultSettings.YResolution and BitsPerPixel and change all those to 1920, 1200, 16 (All in Decimal) respectively using next search button F3.

    I also added entry of ColorDepth for RDP connection(not mandatory)::




    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTTerminal Services]
    "ColorDepth"=dword:00000003 in decimal.




    I don't know, which portion of registry did this, but now it works.

                  ControlPanel→ Display → Screen Resolution → Advance Settings → Monitor → Color




                  After this in regedit, manually search for DefaultSettings.XResolution, DefaultSettings.YResolution and BitsPerPixel and change all those to 1920, 1200, 16 (All in Decimal) respectively using next search button F3.

                  I also added entry of ColorDepth for RDP connection(not mandatory)::




                  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTTerminal Services]
                  "ColorDepth"=dword:00000003 in decimal.




                  I don't know, which portion of registry did this, but now it works.

                  here is a copy & paste form this form:



                  First set desired resolution using:




                  ControlPanel → Display → Screen Resolution.




                  Also set ColorDepth using:




                  ControlPanel→ Display → Screen Resolution → Advance Settings → Monitor → Color




                  After this in regedit, manually search for DefaultSettings.XResolution, DefaultSettings.YResolution and BitsPerPixel and change all those to 1920, 1200, 16 (All in Decimal) respectively using next search button F3.

                  I also added entry of ColorDepth for RDP connection(not mandatory)::




                  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTTerminal Services]
                  "ColorDepth"=dword:00000003 in decimal.




                  I don't know, which portion of registry did this, but now it works.
