MacBook Pro External DVI Monitor Full Resolution not available

MacBook Pro External DVI Monitor Full Resolution not available

I have a new macBook Pro 13" and a 30" apple monitor. I am connecting this monitor via a DVI, and am unable to retrieve a list of all the supported resolutions for the 30" monitor. The Mac book only allows be the same resolution range as its built in screen. How can I change the resolution on the Mac Book to increase the resolution on the 30" external monitor.

I had the same cable & monitor and the same problem. Solved by using a stock HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable. My colleague notes that some pre 2012 MacBooks are picky about the quality of the HDMI cables, but my 2012 15" Retina MBP worked fine with the cheaper cable.
