Bought LCD: Digital Pictures are Distored? Natural Resolution.
lbbss wrote:
I bought an LCD screen, but all my pictures are distorted. Sure I can switch to a different resolution, but I don't want to do that for a few reasons. Every LCD has a natural resolution at which the picture works best. You may want to double check. If you are running your LCD at its native resolution, then the display should _NOT_ be distorted. Distorted displays (no matter if text, pictures, ...) happens normally only, if the graphics card produces one aspect ratio and the monitor has a different native aspect ratio and therefore is forced to emulate a non-native resolution. Any way that I can keep it at the present resolution, but my digital pictures not been distorted (aspect ratio). Some monitors can be switched into a letter box mode, where lower than native resolutions will be displayed in smaller area of the screen rather than stretched to fit the whole display area. jue |

Re-check your settings, the native resolution won't be distorted. Circles should be circles. I've had an awful time with Vista and an odd sized LCD, I ended up using UltraMon to manage dual monitors with it. Whenever it crashes, the aspect ratio gets hosed and only UltraMon will restore it. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

PS: Which monitor (manufacturer + model) are we talking about and which resolution ( x by y) are you using now? jue |
