Actually, it sounds like you need to adjust BOTH the Windows display settings and
the monitor settings, as described in all the other replies.
I would set the Windows display settings to something like 800x600, 24-bit, and set
the Refresh rate to Optimal; then adjust the screen using the controls on the front
of the monitor.

Hi, I just plugged into my ME unit a Dell monitor that is 4 years old. Monitor is
in excellant condition. But, the desktop looks weird in the sence that it is
concaveish (just like the shape of these parenthesis). and the icons are smaler.
If the settings are at the default settings, I dont like them. If they are not,
then maybe the default settings is what i need to go to. WHat can I try? thanmks
in advance
