Hi I have a Dell monitor with 1920x1080 resolution
but my Laptop Lenovo 3000 v200 do not allow me to use this resolution.
and has been advice that is the limitation with the bios.
I have up to date graphic card driver, bios, still doest work.

Specs:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-67690
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 video chipset (up to 128MB)
The resolution you mention is the 1080p standard which is supported by this GPU:

Latest "IBM/Lenovo" flavoured driver is version 14.27 something from mid 2007

Latest Intel driver is dated 3rd quarter 2008 version 14.36

Somehow I think the Lenovo up to date driver is not supporting this yet, try the Intel one.

Ah. It is not a problem, it is by design. You really need to bug lenovo about this, they are using a pretty customized bios into which hacking is virtually impossible.
