Guest Stu Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I recently had to replace my hard drive and reload WindowsXPpro. I have a Westinghouse L1975LW wide screen monitor (1440x900), but now I can't find that setting in the screen resolution section. I don't recall having any software for the monitor, and I cant find any drivers on the Westinghouse website. Any ideas? Stu

Any ideas? > > Stu http://www.westinghousedigital.com/faqs.aspx?itemnum=102 Q: What if my monitor native resolution isn’t listed under the Screen Resolution? A: Most likely, your graphic card or its drivers don’t support this resolution yet. Contact your graphic card or computer manufacturer for additional help. Chances are you may only need to update your graphic card drivers. Q: Do I need a monitor driver? A: You don’t need a monitor driver to drive you LCD display. Some LCD manufacturers do include an information file of their monitor for users to load. However, Westinghouse monitors are fully Plug and Play. In other words, your PC/Notebook should be able to detect your Westinghouse monitor as a Plug n Play monitor, retrieve the information that has been pre-programmed within your Westinghouse monitor, and configure for optimal settings automatically. If you’re a Linux user, please refer to the product specification of the User’s Manuel for information on building your monitor profile. Call our 800 hot line if you need additional help. -- Joe =o)
