Monitor Resolution/Refresh.
I know this topic is probably off post but if someone can point me in the
right direction, it will be appreciated. My existing setup is Win 98SE desktop with a convential CRT Taxan monitor. The monitor is driven by a Leadtek Winfast Titanium 500 TD graphics card. The display settings on the graphics card are 1024 x768 at 75 Hz. I have treated myself to a new HP 17" LCD monitor. Swapped the two over and I noticed that the LCD picture is slightly elongated. The HP says that its optimum resolution/refresh rate is 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz and this is what it is set to. In my ignorance, I assumed that I should set the graphics card to that of the LCD monitor, but when I do that, the Windows software changes the option and then displays the result, asking if I want to keep the new setting. Unfortunately, the new display setting is smaller and to the upper left of the screen - not what I want, so I say no and revert. The question is am I wrong in trying to set both options the same and if I should be doing that, how do I resolve the problem of the display not being the correct size? Thanks Alan |

Thanks Alan Say "yes" to Windows and then press "Auto" on your monitor. The monitor will then adjust its internal settings to match the display. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

In the meantime I had tried a restart and that sorted it but I do note your comments for further reference. Thanks again. Alan |
