And it's been nothing but trouble.

I cannot get the resolution to sit right! Every time I go to chance it i'm stuck with either 1600x1200 or 1900x1440 or something ridiculous in between - 16:9 just doesn't seem to exist for this thing, despite the user manual listing it.

I've downloaded CRU 1.3 to try and force a resolution but no matter what I do 1920x1080 doesn't appear anywhere. I've tried basic resolution settings, advanced resolution settings and even display mode.

That monitor should be plug and play unless something's wrong with the EDID or the cable. Is the integrated graphics Intel? CRU uses EDID overrides, and Intel is currently working on adding support for EDID overrides. Intel recently released a test driver that allows CRU to work on some systems: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...est-Driver

You might be better off using an active HDMI to VGA adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZMV7RL2/?tag=mtests-20#ad

That adapter will provide its own EDID with 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz if the monitor's EDID isn't available.
