Sorry guys for the issue that you are facing. I did go through the Intel support page regarding the Custom Resolution is Not Supported on Internal Displays error. In a nutshell, here’s what they have to say: “Intel cannot extend support for custom resolutions on internal driver displays due to hardware limitations”.
So as already pointed out by one of the readers, it is indeed a hardware limitation and there are no software tweaks that I currently know that could bypass this limitation. As and when I get hold of the same, will update this post accordingly. Fingers crossed!

My laptop will not allow custom display input because of the limitations of the hardware. Is there any way around this that you know of?

Hi Kartik, I haven’t researched on that, if I found any other workaround, will add to this guide. Anyways, are you running AMD or is it Intel only but you are unable to use the Command Centre?
