Problem With Computer Monitor

Post » Mon Aug 16, 2010 5:31 am

Hey folks, hoping that some technical savvy person, ie not me, can help me with this.

I have a widescreen monitor, native resolution 1920*1080.
A graphics card that is happy supporting 1920*1080.

Yet, when I actually use this resolution, nothing seems to fit on the screen. I'm sure that I'm doing something blindingly obviously wrong, but I just can't figure this out. Drivers are up to date, everything seems compatible, so it should work. Shouldn't it?

Help appreciated :)

Oh, for crying out loud.

Scrap that - it actually was blindlingly obvious.... press autoset on the monitor itself.

:facepalm:

You would only need to do that if you connected the monitor using anolog vga. It's not necessary on DVI as far as I know.
