Hi All I have just got a 21 inch wide screen monitor, the display is distorted sideways, can anyone please give me a pointer which removes the distortion. I have tried several different settings, but it is difficult to see what works as all the icons are hidden by the settings screen. The one that I did try which was reasonable in getting it more or less right, made everything quite small. The current setting is 1280 x 1024 the one I tried that got things right but was small, was 1920 x 1080. Many Thanks for any help. Phil |

Hi Phil, Assuming it is a flat-screen monitor and not an old CRT display, there is only one setting which will look sharp, i.e. the native dot-pitch of the underlying hardware. 1920 x 1080 is very likely that, sometimes called 1080p: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p If that makes everything too small, you need to change the dpi setting in Windows. Which version of Windows are you using? Go to Start > Control Panel > Display, and you should see something like this: 2_090703_180000000.png Change to one of the higher settings to get things looking bigger. 100% is 96dpi 125% is 120dpi 150% is 144dpi In Windows10 the dialog is different but the end result is the same. Which version of Windows are you using? regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin Thanks very much for that, I am using Win 7, changing to the medium setting has got everything right. You're a star yet again Thanks Phil |
