Hi.
I recently purchased a Dell S2209W Wide screen 1080p LCD from Dell. The display is beautiful and setting the display up has been a breeze albeit a couple hiccups. They are as follows:
(1) I would like to make the larger LCD my only monitor, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change that. I am able to choose either dual desktop, or mirrored desktop. At the moment, I am using the first option with my laptop's brightness turned off. Mirroring, so far, has not allowed the LCD to display at native resolution (1920x1080). Any ideas on how to get around this?
(2) Windows (on a boot camp partition) seems to be unable to figure out what to do with this monitor. I installed Dell's drivers, have tried rearranging the displays, and nothing is working. I would have thought this would be a fairly brainless process on Windows -- but nothing is working. Has anyone had similar problems with Dell displays on Boot Camp partitions?
Any help would be appreciated.
