Conclusion: on my computer with windows 7, an LG display works perfect but not through the VGA port. The result: automatic recognition of the monitor, the resolution I want immediately and. Then I bought a cable: displayport ->HDMI to connect my laptop from the displayport (an HP specific type of HDMI interface) to the HDMI input on the LG screen. On the internet I don't find a VGA driver for this screen and I don't believe there is one. Trying to adjust to a higher resolution fails. It didn't work, at least not in the resolution I want.
I tried to connect an LG flatron W2442PE monitor to my HP laptop running windows 7 64 bit professional version through the VGA port. Other Info CompTIA A+ certified (220-800 series) in July 2013.

R/Click the Monitor in the Monitor Section and choose Update Driver. I found it easier to update from the Device Manager manually, and point it towards the CD. Its basically a color profile if you choose to use it.
In terms of the monitor itself, you can install the one off the disc. This should resolve your resolution problem.
As far as the resolution, make sure you have the current drivers for your graphics card. You shouldn't need a driver for the monotor. I am now shopping for a new large screen monitor - so if you know anyone that supports 64bit I would appreciate your suggestions to save me some time of researching. I will never purchase another LG product and encourage all my clients, family and friends to follow suit. I'm very disappointed in the company, both at their response and their lack of supporting the largest desktop OS in the world. When I contacted LG 8 months ago they basically told me to go pound sand. BTW, the resolution was perfect prior to upgrading to 64bit. I've had Windows7-64 bit for the last 9 months and have been unable to find a driver from LG that will give me the resolution that I used to have on my 22' screen.Īt 1280 X 1024 I should receive much higher resolution. I do find LG Display 'drivers' at sites I personally would flag as highly suspect sites to download files from. After doing some more searching I've yet to find any drivers of tis sort from LG offiial sites. Oh, by the way, why are yyou looking for 'drivers' for your monitor anyway? My LG monitor didnt' need any special 'driver' to work with Windows 7. Makes me wonder what hole in the wall joint you found 'drivers' at.or what super secret LG site hides such files. No drivers or software come up with any search there.
