I just got a Lenovo H410 77241AU running Windows 7 Home Premium with a Intel G41 Express Chipset and am having problems getting the screen to display well on my Sceptre E230BD-FHD 23" LED TV / Monitor. The G41 does not recognize the Scepter and is treating it as a generic non-plug-and-play monitor.
When I connect them HDMI-to-HDMI, it shows up in 1920x1080 resolution but the fonts are all pixelated and hard to read. I can change the screen settings to the non-native display of 1600x900 and that works, but still leaves everything fuzzy.
When I connect them VGA-to-VGA, the screen displays in 1920x1080, but is compressed horizontally and not using the whole screen. About 20% of the left-hand side of the screen is black and the computer's display is squeezed into the remaining 80% (it is not going over the edge of the screen on the right as I can still see the clock at the bottom right of the taskbar).
I've updated the drivers for the Intel G41, but still have these problem. As far as I can tell, Sceptre has not put out a driver or EDID for that monitor for Windows 7. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks. The driver you directed me to did solve the problem.
I had seen the Intel info about that driver previously, but didn't try it out as I thought that it was addressing a different problem. The description for that driver referred to it as a solution for when resolutions like 1920x1080 weren't showing up in graphics properties. In my case, 1920x1080 was being listed as a choice, but it wasn't displaying properly when it was selected.
Regardless, I have now intalled that driver and the display is working correctly in 1920x1080, so thanks!
