Hi,
I recently bought ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A with "Intel GMA HD 4000 ".
Is it possible to get a resolution of 2560x1400 on my external DELL monitor? (Monitor supports the resolution)
I tried in the Intel Graphicoptions to add a manual resolution, but I get an error
"The user defined resolution excesses the maximum bandwith capacity" (translated from german...)
Maybe u guys have a solution.
Thanks

In case you get here by a post, I'd like to share some factual information on the matter:
1) You can set whatever resolution and refresh rate you desire as long as:
- Your monitor supports it
- Your cable supports it (e.g. an HDMI 1.2 cable on an HDMI 1.3 port is limited to HDMI 1.2 bandwidth)
- Your output type supports the bandwidth required (http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/bwcalculator.asp use this web page to check)
- HDMI 1.0-1.2 = 4.96Gbps
- HDMI 1.3-1.4 = 10.2Gbps (max usually advertised as 2560x1600@60hz, but can just do 3840x1440@60hz)
- HDMI 2.0 = 18Gbps (max 3840x2160@60hz:10-bit colour)
- DVI-D = 3.96Gbps (max 1920x1200@60hz)
- DVI-D Dual-Link (2x DVI-D, one cable) = 7.92Gbps (3.96Gbps x 2) (max usually advertised as 2560x1600@60hz)
- DisplayPort 1.0-1.1 = 8.64Gbps (max usually advertised as 2560x1600@60hz)
- DisplayPort 1.2 = 17.28 Gbit/s (max 3840x2160@60hz:10-bit colour)
- DisplayPort 1.3 = 25.92Gbit/s (etc)
2) You can't set a custom resolution in Windows, because Intel's software has a critical bug. A bug that's been there for, literally, YEARS.
- 4 years later from this initial post, and Intel still haven't fixed it as of February 2016.
- Maybe Bryce@Intel might update /thread/78158?start=0&tstart=0 this thread with some good news about bug # 9024844 (Raised in August 2015)
3) How to enable custom resolutions in Ubuntu (linux):
- Find out which output name represents the port you want to add a custom resolution for:
- Generate a mode configuration string with cvt or similar:
- Copy the second line of text returned from the program, but without the word ModeLine:
- Run this command (with your own text of course)
- Run this command (use your own values)
- Activate the new monitor mode! (use your own values)
- Congrats! You get what thousands and thousands of Windows users haven't been allowed to have for over 5 years! Hooray for privileges!
