Display resolution

[Sfinewine]

Recently my uncle bought a second computer for his 12th old daughter with spec  W10, intel i5 2400 and ddr3 4 gb without dedicated graphic card, so my question is, since the pc just have intel integrated card, i cant change the resolution to 1920x1080 or 1280x720, the resolution locked on 1360x766,which make our eyes didnt comfortable with that resolution, do i need buy a dedicated graphic card so i can change the display resolution or new monitor?

Does your monitor supports resolution higher than 1360x766 ??
Because that iGPU supports resolution up to 2560x1600 iirc

edit :
If yes, then I'm gonna take a guess it's because of the driver.
i5 2400 doesn't have Win 10 & above compatible graphic driver.

If it's a 1080p monitor, it should work. iGPU in i5-2400 has support for higher than 1080p60fps. It might be a shoddy cable, or some old stuff that can't carry a 1080p60fps signal. If a better cable doesn't work, try creating a custom resolution in Intel graphics control panel. See if it works. 

 

I don't understand why people would buy 11 year old e-waste when they could spend a bit more and get 8-10 years more recent hardware.. It's beyond my comprehension. It's almost better to not buy a PC at all. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. If you can get a Nvidia 750ti or something on second hand market, grab that and it should work no problem..

The monitor has a native resolution, which could be 1360x766 for old 17-19" LCD monitors, could be 1440x900 for 19" monitors ... starting from 20.5" and higher native resolution of 1920x1080 is most common. 

You get the best image by matching the resolution in Windows with the resolution of your LCD panel.

yeah, i wonder too, why he bought an old PC, then i know reason behind it, is because his friend offer it with cheap price

The iGPU supporting the resolution doesn't mean it shipped in a motherboard that has port for the output.

It could be the motherboard, not allof them have the new-ish enough HDMI that support all kind of output. Technically you could change the motherboard but it's will be much easier and cheaper to just get a discrete GPU. Some low end GPU like Nvidia GT series can cost as low as 30 buck, if all you need is outputing signal.

How cheap also not worth, 12 years old is way too old.

12 years ago very high possible the monitor is also low resolution, I believe the attached monitor is support up to 1360x766 (the resolution is not common, is it 1366x768).

 

You cannot change to higher resolution if the monitor not support.

 

Also what is the Windows and did it install the proper display driver? If older Windows like Windows 7 and below, a proper display driver is required.

2nd gen intel i5.  In 2022.
