Thread: problem with screen!!!!

i have 15" cft monitor.the problem is that the windows is not spread in whole screen, about 20% of screen is totally waste.
i check all setting of monitor as well as drivers.but the problem remain same.
help...............

Please make sure you are using a resolution supported by your screen.
If you push the menu button it will give you all the options to spread out the picture both vertically and horizontally.

the admin is right, you have a option to zoom in/out, expand length horizotally/vertically, move screen horizotally/vetically...
plus you might want to check you screen resolution, it will be in display properties>settings....

i will check it as well, it shows 100%, the problem is with horizontal.
guide me.

Try the setting as said by admin. If your problem still persists then there may be a problem with your horizontal IC (Chip). You need a service engineer.

My cousin purchased a PC from HCL which sufferd similar problems. The screen of the CRT shrinked to cover about 75 % of the total height vertically & the rest of the screen was wasted. Even cofiguring from the monitor setup menu did not help. It was replaced by the company through warranty procedures. They said the IC that controls the vertical display of the cathode ray was damaged. (robert_0007 could be right)

When did this problem started ?
Did you changed some options in the display properties ?
[ I also got similar problem when I changed screen refresh rate. So I set it back to 70 again.]

refresh rate is something totally different here and here first check vertical positon and horizontal position on monitor and then once try to restore setting of your monitor to factory defaults if it is not helpful then you need a service engineer who can check hardare for that

My display shrunk when I changed Screen refresh rate. I set monitor settings to 100% but still the display couldn't reach the sides.

UR LUCKY THAT STILL UR ABLE TO OPERATE UR SYSTEM ...SOMETIMES U HAVE TO INSTALL FRESH WINDOW,SO HERE IS TIP TO DEFAULT SETTINGS...ON DESKTOP OPEN PROPERTIES( CLICK RIGHT BUTTON OF MOUSE)...WINDOW WILL OPEN AND SELECT SETTINGS TAB..HERE YOU CHOOSE THE SCREEN RESOLUTION TO 1024X768 PIXELS AND COLOR QUALITY TO 32 BIT.....TICK THE BELOW BOTH OPTIONS OF (USE THIS DEVICE AS THE PRIMARY MONITOR AND EXTEND MY ................THIS MONITOR).CLICK APPY
UR DONE
IF STILL UR SCREEN ICONS ARE BIG IN SIZE THAN AGAIN FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDE N JUST INCREASE UR RESOLUTION TO 1280 BY 800 PIXELS(ITS DEFAULT SIZE IN 90% COMPUTERS).....NOW APPLY AND SEE THE CHANGES....DONT MESS UP WITH OTHER SETTINGS OR YOU WILL HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS TOO......
ONE MORE THING ...TRY TO ZOOM UR SCREEN FROM THE MONITOR (it has all settings,vertical,horizontal,etc etc)

PLZZ REPLY IF UR PROBLEM SOLVED OR NOT...
