| 553879 | 2007-05-28 07:13:00 | High resolutions are all very well, but I want to be able to read whats on the screen without any stress. I've got an lcd monitor at home that has 1650x1080 as default resolution. Thats great if you're looking at pictures but hopeless if you're reading text. I use it on 1024x768 too | Phil B (648) | ||
| 553880 | 2007-05-28 07:19:00 | Well it may need a better videocard then. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 553881 | 2007-05-28 07:48:00 | Well it may need a better videocard then. Doubt that would be the case. My parent's geforce 2 mx quite happily drives a 19" widescreen (1440 x 900) monitor. The CD should at least have a .inf file on it that you can point wondows "add new hardware wizard") to. That will install the driver. |

| 553882 | 2007-05-28 07:49:00 | Well, not sure what you mean by stress there Phil, if you set the resolution to the native res supported by the lcd, the text should be very clear, anything else will use part pixels and look blurred! | SolMiester (139) | ||

| 553884 | 2007-05-28 08:40:00 | By stress i miniscule sized text that can't be seen from about 6 feet away. The monitor is supposed to be plug n play & no drivers are needed. According to the manual, it auto adjusts to your computer to give you the best possible display. There are manual adjustments which I have played with, with no success. It just seems washed out, almost as if someone has put a 200 watt light in the back instead of 100 if you know what I mean |

| 553885 | 2007-05-28 09:08:00 | The problem lies with the video card predating widescreen resolutions, therefore the card needs a driver from the monitor before it will let you use it in widescreen. And I tell you that 1024 x 768 looks absolutely HORRIBLE on any widescreen monitor. |

| 553886 | 2007-05-28 09:19:00 | I'm lookin at it now on a 20" viewsonic & it looks ok to me. I find high resolutions reduce text size so much I have to start messing with settings to enlarge the text & end up with other display problems. ie the text overlaps or disappears behind things onscreen. I'm not blind as a bat either, my last eyetest was ok. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 553887 | 2007-05-28 09:25:00 | The new VESA Plug and Play function is used, eliminating the complicated and time-consuming installation process. Use the Plug and Play system without encountering the usual installation problems. Your computer system can easily identify and automatically adjust the monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can auto adjust your monitor Though your computer system can automatically identify the new LCD monitor system, the Auto Adjust function can enhance the display. To enter adjust mode, refer to “OSD Control”. Turn the computer and LCD monitor on. Press the ‘Auto’ button to start Auto Adjust. The LCD monitor starts the Auto Adjust process. The process will continue for 10 seconds. You will notice the image change as the Auto Adjust is working. Self Test Function Check (STFC): Your LCD monitor provides a STFC function, through which you can check whether the LCD monitor is working properly. As copied from the pdf manual |

| 553888 | 2007-05-28 10:18:00 | If small text annoys you, then you got the wrong kind of monitor Phil. You may want a CRT which displays any resolution clearly......I have an old 19" CRT if you want it. | SolMiester (139) | ||
