Hey everyone,

Is it possible to change my native 1366x768 resolution to a higher 1920x1080?
I can't seem to get it working on my laptop by using CRU.

Can anyone give me a push in the right direction?

Here are my system specs:
Intel i5 with onboard graphics
Nvidia 840m
Running Windows 10 64-bit Insider Preview (Almost identical to Windows 8.1)
SDC4951 display as seen in CRU, generic pnp monitor

EDIT: When I add a custom resolution and ran restart.exe it flashes black screen and ends with a BSOD.

Laptops don't usually have scalers, so it has to be done through the GPU. I don't think there's a way to do this with switchable graphics. CRU is not a downsampling utility, and EDID overrides don't work with switchable graphics anyway. If NVIDIA's driver doesn't offer a Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) option, then it's probably not possible. Supposedly NVIDIA plans to add DSR support to laptops in a future driver.
