I have a dell latitude d820 and the maximum resolution that I could see in the display properties windows under settings tab is 1280 x 800. Is there any where to increase the max resolution to 1400 x 1080?

Those machines were built with a variety of screen resolutions, so it depends on how it was ordered. If your device drivers are current, then what you see in the settings is what you get.

It depends of the type of the LCD screen (i.e. of what you ordered):

Go to dell.com support and enter the machine's "service tag" number - it should tell you how the machine was equipped when it was built. – Jamie Hanrahan – 2016-02-17T20:25:25.950
How to find out if mine is WXGA or WSXGA+ or WUXGA? – Dharam – 2009-12-26T00:54:14.110
Well, if you can't go beyond 1280 x 800, then you very likely have a WXGA. It should be possible to change the LCD. See for example http://www.lcds4less.com/DellLaptop__dell_latitude_d820__laptop-screens.html.

Based on your response and the settings I see in my display properties, the max resolution I get is 1280 x 800. Is there any way to upgrade this by switching Video Card or some sort? – Dharam – 2009-12-26T00:55:18.023
1the only way to get a higher res. now is to either have the screen replaced or connect the laptop to an external display – Sathyajith Bhat – 2009-12-26T08:30:25.523
