I recently got a new monitor- Samsung B2030(20" Wide) for my desktop setup. Till yesterday i was running it via VGA cable that came with the monitor. Native and max. resolution was 1600x900. Yesterday i bought a DVI to HDMI converter. I already had one and a really good HDMI cable and thought of giving it a try with my gts 250. Connected the B2030 via HDMI cable and the 2 converters. Now i get 1920x1080 as a HD optiion from NVIDIA control panel. It looks good but i cant game at that resolution, only the desktop and other applications recognize it. Please tell me is it safe to use that resolution???Will it damage my monitor by any chance???

use only 1600*900 !! I did try that but the screen gets blurred and it is always not advisable to go above the native resolution !!
On the desktop can you see a difference between 1600 rez and 1900 rez ? (are icons getting smaller text getting sharper) I think even though nvidia control panel is giving you that option and the card is outputting 1920 1080 the monitor isnt able to display that so is downscaling to 1600 rez only.
yup...though i would love to use it at that resolution..but thats another story thank you all for your time and patience!

You said you arent able to game in that res.antarcticprince said:
It means the game is setting the 1920x1080 res at a different refresh rate.
Hence the screen goes blank and that is unsupported by your monitor.
it doesn't go blank. i can't see 1920x1080 as an option in the game settings. It appears under HD,SD tab in Nvidia control panel.
