Is there an NG to ask about monitors?

 

My new LCD TFT widescreen monitor has 1 inch band down the side when I try

to put a 1440x900 desktop wallpaper on it.

Perhaps review your monitor resolution?

On the4 Display Properties under Desktop while the Wallpaper selected, there

is a button/Drop Down list has many options one of them Stretch, Center and

so on, select stretch and see if the wallpaper will fill the screen.

Are you sure the wallpaper is correctly 1440x900?

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

Have tried 4 different websites all claiming their different wallpapers are

1440x900 and they all give the same result.

Perhaps you may want to try cropping your own picture to a 1440x900 and

see if the same happens.

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

In this case I think you may want to try a 1440x960 wallpaper.

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

The monitor manufacturer's support pages would be the first place to look

for answers, but some are better than others at providing them.

 

What is the native resolution of the monitor? Is the video adapter output

resolution setting set to the monitor's native resolution or something

lower? Higher? Is Windows set to stretch or center the wallpaper? Is the

entire image centered on the screen or is part of it shifted off the side

opposite the black band? Are there settings on the monitor itself to

reposition or resize the image?

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

The monitors resolution is 1440x900 and it is set to that. The NVideo

graphic card is also set to that. I have tried stretch, tile and centre. The

stretch one leaves the band down the side. The entire image is exactly

centred in the monitor. The settings in the monitor will move the whole

image one way or the other but none of them will re size the image. The full

screen is filled by every other software I have used.

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

Have googled for how to turn on active desktop and it says right click on

the desktop and choose active desktop when I right click on the desktop

there is no active desktop appearing.

All the advice seems to revolve around start>settings etc

 

When I click on start I don't see a settings option.

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

There is no settings option on the Start button, only Control Panel or

right-click-> Properties, which isn't relevent in this case.

Re: NG to ask about monitors?

 

The problem seems even more strange now. :)

 

If programs are running in full screen normally then maybe there is

something in the Nvidia advanced options that is affecting the way wallpaper

displays. I don't have Nvidia so I couldn't even hazzard a guess as to where

to look in those settings. Something pertaining to screen vs image DPI

perhaps?
