A lot of times I found my Acer 1702W 17″ TFT Monitor loosing its native resolution of 1400 X 900, which is ideal for the monitor to display the content properly. Even after doing a lot of search on various search engines I couldn’t find a method that guaranteed me results. Though I have an Intel Accelerated Graphics driver, I feel this solution should work for any card ATI, NVidia etc.

Follow the following steps in order to get back your monitor’s native resolution: -

1. From display settings, set screen resolution to higher resolution, I changed it to 1600 X 1024.
2. From your display driver installation CD, run setup application.
3. After the drivers are installed restart your computer.

This would bring back the native resolution for the monitor.
