What do I have to do in order to get the specified higher resolution? With the splitter cable attached, I only see 1024x768 max. Prev = 1600x

I had the same problem. The resolution had issues and when projecting, it made it difficult to use in my classroom. :(

Check and make sure that one of your monitors is not native 1024x768. This may dictate what shows up. also try loading drivers for the new monitor.

Whatever the max resolution your integrated can push out should be in your laptop manual. You could go to device manager and properties of your display adapter and check that way.If its not within 1080p the resolution will look distorted and fuzzy, or it might shrink to the size that it is capable of.

Assuming you have the right connector and you have the USB plugged in to the computer (because the extra power is required), you can try going to Display Preferences and hitting the Option key. A button should pop up to show the available resolutions. I had to do this with my 27" monitor.

don't use hdmi. use mini displayport ("Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" is like $5 on amazon) to display 2560 x 1080 perfectly.

Yes, depending on which Dvi you're using, (there are several types) there is usually a higher resolution than you would get from a VGA cable.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

I am using a 15' VGA cable. That box did not do well for me. I returned it and bought a Sabrent device.

I've been using it in my monitor native resolution, which is 1920X1080. As it is a digital cable, I see no reason why it wouldn't work at higher resolutions, but haven't tried it.

Yes, in order to get the maximum resolution one needs to use Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.

all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be. I do not think you can get a higher definition picture using one of these devices. What your computer puts out is what will be displayed on the screen. It should be noted that the device can arrange the pixels to make it seem there is a higher resolution. This is what I was told. If you wish to purchase one of these and get back to me as to how the resolution is on your T.V. I would greatly appreciate that, but I never tried the high definition converter, I just bought the cable. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be.

I'm using mine with an AMD W7000 graphics card. The only time I get 2560x1600 is with a straight through Display Port cable. Any otherl configuration, even with the best adapters (even DVI-D), gets 1920x1080 displayed. No disc required with Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 R2. After a couple of boots it picked the device itself. Not sure how many though as I was installing all the other drivers required and those needed a lot of reboots.

As others have stated, it only officially supports 1920x1080 via HDMI. I managed to get it to a full 2560x1440, but I had to create a custom resolution and I could only get it to 30fps. Not ideal, but it's acceptable for me. See my image and review for more info.

The manufacturer advised that this is an uncompressed signal. So you will get full resolution and great quality with the splitter.

No... You have to use something like DisplayPort in order to get full resolution . That's what I use... Works great... In my situation though, my video card has Display-port outputs. If yours does not, I'm not sure if you can achieve full res.

Note that you need the DualLink Mini DisplayPort adapter to get the full 2560x1440 resolution. If you try using just the basic Mini DisplayPort adapter, your available resolutions will max out at 1080p.

The cable itself is 1080p. As long as your device is 1080p capable, you should get the full resolution.

The maximum resolution on this is 1080p, contrary to the little blurb that they have on the product page. I bought this solely because I hoped to connect my gaming PC (which has Mini DisplayPort 1.2 which can support full 4k at 60hz) to my 4k TV (Which has HDMI 2.0). Through this adapter my PC can only see my TV as a 1080p display.
