What graphics card do you have?
You probably have to reinstall the drivers for it to go higher.

Nvidia Video Cards: www.nvidia.com
ATI Video Cards: www.ati.amd.com
Intel Video Cards: www.intel.com

To find out what card you have and series, go to display screen where you can change resolution, you'll see a bit of text "plug and play monitor on [video card name here]", it may also say [your monitors name] on [video card here]
