I ran across a Soyo 24" LCD monitor a while back and finally got it fixed (bad cap in the power supply) and it would sure be cool to use it with my beige G3. I got it all hooked up last night and have discovered that I cannot get it to display the native resolution (1920x1200.) It will display most others up to and including 1600x1200. Some result in a message on the monitor saying "out of range." If I choose "All" in the Monitors control panel, I actually get some choices higher than 1920x1200 but not that one specifically. Is there a way to custom add that one or am I out of luck?
It's connected via VGA. It appears that it is only detected as a generic monitor with no specific resolutions supported, and is the same on a Windows 10 PC. I have not tried DVI yet, that may change things. The video card is a Radeon 9200 - seems like it was a flashed PC card but maybe not, it's been 15 years or more since I laid eyes on the card itself. Running Mac OS 9.2.2.
