On Friday I received my new i5 Haswell Intel NUC from Amazon and on Saturday loaded it up with the mSATA SSD and RAM
Loaded Windows 8.1 and installed the current display drivers.
Having connected the mini HDMI (NUC) to HDMI (Samsung 22inch monitor), I found that I had two choices of screen resolution - 1280*720 @ 59 hertz or 1920*1080 @ 59 hertz. The trouble is that my monitor has a maximum resolution of 1650*1050 (being a 22inch 16:10 monitor). Even using 1280*720 I was unable to resize the screen to fit my screen and all sides of the screen are located off the screen.
Updating the drivers and going back to stock 8.1 drivers did not help
Even finding the available resolutions my native resolution of 1650*1050 was not an option
Thankfully I did this early enough in the day that I was able to go down to JayCar and purchase a mini Display Port to DVI cable and once connected to my NUC and monitor worked flawlessly - straight to my native resolution with no changes required.
Seems to be a HDMI issue but not sure if the older nature of my monitor is to blame or the new Intel NUC
Anyone able to give 'guidance'?
*Goes off to purchase DVI to VGA cable for my old system so I don't need to swap DVI cables every 5 minutes.
