Hm...I had a similar issue a few days ago, well kinda. I bought a 22.1 in monitor and hooked it up to my laptop with a DVI to VGA adaptor. Resolution wasn't the best, I don't think it was outputting to the native resolution as it should of due to me using VGA.
My laptop does have a DVI port so I just ended up using DVI entirely rather than the VGA adaptor. That ended up fixing the problem, but in your case you can't do this if you don't have a DVI out on your laptop.
I tried searching for some answers to help because I'm not 100% sure, it's going to depend on your graphics card and your native VGA card in your mother board.
Here's a work around I found online. Not sure if this will help, let me know.
I had the same problem with my HP LCD monitor, I discovered that the mother board VGA card did not support the maximum monitor resolution. However to find out if you VGA card does not support your monitor resolution, uninstal the VGA drivers and restart the PC. when it turns on back refuse to search for the drivers and go back to the settings of screen resolution.
Adjust until you get what you want. If you are satisfied with the result at this moment, then you will need to upgrade your current drivers of the VGA card. And since your computer is intel you will find the drivers at their website. Just enter the version of your motherboard, remember you might need to upgrade the chipset drivers too. So download all the motherboard neccesities.
