I got my internet installed in my room now (yay) but when on the internet the screen has bout a 1 1/2" gap on either side!
In other words, the page don't take up the full screen!
I got a 17" tft screen! any1 know how i can adjust it? its bloody awful reading the site lol!
Seems to only be this site and the homepage tho!
Cheers!

there should be a button on the monitor for bringing up a menu on screen that will enable you to adjust the setting for thing like brightness, contrast, colour balance - and in with all that rubbsih will be the height and width settings.

Just tried that doesnt seem to do anything! :?

youre not using some crayzee obscure screen resolution are ya?
switch to 800x600 and see what thats like if you are.

Just done that and it has worked! il have a bit of a play about now coz its like a screen for the blind lmao!
Cheers andy!

[wisewood]

what resolution were you using mate?
if it was higher than 1024x768 try using that one instead - its a bit less of a "for the blind" resolution that 800x600.

just have a play with the height and width settings on the monitor and you should find you can stretch it to fit in all the resolutions.

It was on 1024x768, iv just realised that i havnt installed the disc for the monitor! so i think its reading plug and play gonna give that a go next!!!!!

i used to use the next res up from 1024*768.

umm for my 20" im using double 1024*768 (i think) lol
