    Hi,

    I recently aquired a 15.4" WUXGA LCD of Dell D800. I replaced it with my HP's(dv6208nr) WXGA 1280x800. It nvidia go 6150 so 1920x1200 resolution is not a problem. Only thing i had to do was to use HP's inverter since the D800's had a different connector. Would it cause this?

    And here is a picture with an external display.

    This split screen is also viewable in dos and boot cycle. Windows thinks it is a 1280x800 display. I had to use powerstrip to add 1920x1200.

    Any one had this issue or know how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Turned out it was HP's bios problem. After flashing with new BIOS everything is working.
