    Default help me techies - screen resolution problem

    i'm having a problem with my screen resolution.

    i'm using a 22" dell lcd flatscreen monitor and for some reason, no screen resolution will it on it correctly.

    i've just downloaded the latest drivers for my video card and that's given me a larger choice of resolutions but no matter what i choose i have the same problem - everything is either stretched out noticeably wider or noticeably longer.

    anyone know if there's a way to fix this?

    it's so frustrating

    Try changing the actual viewable area on your monitor. There should be instructions on how to do so that came with the monitor.

    Sometimes this needs to be done once setting a resolution for the first time. After the first time they should all fit correctly.

    Then double check on which resolutions your monitor supports.

    okay my monitor says the optimum resolution is 1900 something. that's an option for me, but even when i set it to that it's still stretched out longer than it should be.

    It'll be in the menu options on the monitor. Very different for every monitor sometimes.

    You can find the manual though, just do a good thorough google search.

    See what some of the buttons do on the front, once you find the menu you can find the video options from there.
