Dear All,
I'm running a Surface Pro 7 with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and want to use WQHD resolution via HDMI. However, though I set this as a customized resolution, it doesn't set higher than FullHD.
Other cables have been tested without any differences. Are there any other topics to consider?
Thanks for your support.
Spec:
Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics
Driver: 27.20.100.9621
Connection: HDMI
Monitor: PL2791Q

Dear Josue,
Thank you for your support.
Referring to your questions
- Yes, OEM driver was running before. Current driver was installed hoping to overcome this issue.
- In the current setup the physical WQHD resolution of the monitor is not available in the selection. I needed to add it as a customized setting.
- No, another monitor was not tested. However it works when a DisplayPort cable is used.
Unfortunately, I added anpother PC to my desk and I'm running a KVM switch to switch over between the PC and the surface. This switch is requiring HDMI. But also, the other PC can run the WQHD resolution within this system.
So, I'm pretty sure it's the graphic controller inside the surface that lacks. - see attachment

Simon

Hello SimonMayr,
We recommend performing a clean install of the latest graphics drivers provided by the system manufacturer since these drivers are customized. Follow these steps:
Check Windows* updates:
• Click the Windows Start button.
• Click the search and type Windows updates and click on that option.
• Select Check for Updates and ensure you have the latest Windows* version.
Clean installation of the Graphics Driver:
1- Download the latest customized driver from the Computer Manufacturer Support Websites and save the installer on the computer.
2- Disconnect from the internet to make sure the driver will not be automatically updated by Windows.
3- Uninstall the Intel Graphics driver. To do this, please follow the steps on the link below under these sections:
• Uninstalling the Intel Graphics Driver via the Device Manager Method
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005598/graphics.html
4- Restart the computer.
5- Right-click the Windows Start button. Select Device Manager.
6- If no older drivers are stored in the system, the graphics controller in Device Manager should now be listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter', 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter', or similar. If not, repeat step 3. Repeat the process until it is listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter'.
7- Install the latest graphics driver provided by the system manufacturer.
8- Once the latest driver has been installed, enable the internet connection again.
If the issue persists, repeat the Clean installation process using the latest Intel® generic graphics driver available at Download Center.

Hello Josue,
Thanks for your input.
So far, I have executed the procedure with the Microsoft driver/software. Unfortunately without success, yet.
Further test with Intel software is still open. I need to pursue this within next days.
I will come back as soon as new status is available.
Best Regards
Simon

Hello SimonMayr,
Thank you for the information provided, in this case, after checking the graphics report provided, we found that the resolution is being detected by the graphics card. Since everything works fine using the Display Port connection, the issue seems to be related to other limitations on the computer. Our recommendation is to check with Microsoft* to see if there are any limitations with the HDMI port or compatibility issues between your monitor and the laptop.
Remember that we do not recommend the use of any dongles, adapters, or any type of device between the display and the computer because these devices can cause issues with resolutions, performance, and more. Please try using a straight connection and share with us the results.
