Open ATI’s Catalyst Control Center (CCC) by right-clicking on your desktop and clicking on the “Catalyst Control Center” option. 2. Make sure you are in advanced mode (lots of menus on the left side). 3. Click on the 'Graphics' menu and choose 'Desktops and Displays'. 4. On the strip at the very bottom of this window, right-click your monitor and choose 'Configure' from the context menu. 5. Click on the 'HDTV Support' tab. 4. Click the checkbox next to the resolution and refresh rate which you want to enable for your monitor. For my monitor, this was “1080p50″. 5. Click “Apply.” 6. Go to the 'Graphics' --> 'Desktop Properties' menu, choose your monitor from the drop-down box at the top, and then choose the new resolution you just enabled from the 'Desktop area' area at the bottom-left of the window. Click 'Ok' and you are done. The newer Catalyst Control Center (currently on 9.11) requires a bit of a different procedure to enable the high resolution display:
