I just replaced my 15" Compaq CRT monitor with a Tyris 19" flat screen. I think the problem I'm having is with the screen resolution. Images on screen are not very clear, especially text. The monitor instructions says the resolution should be set to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz. When I set it for that, all screen icons and other images become very, very small. I've tried other settings, but nothing seems to work
correctly. Right now, I have the resolution set to 800 x 600. This is setting I used for my old 15" monitor. This setting looks better than any of the others I've tried. However, images and text are still not sharp.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

-jimbob.I have never heard of that make before, but LCD's require 1024x768 as a minimum viewable resolution. Does this LCD have drivers from the manufacturer? Did you check the website for known issues and SUGGESTIONS? Do they have an 800 number?No, I did not think of looking for info on their website. I purchased the monitor on-line from newegg.com. I will try looking up the manufacturer's website to see if I can find any info there.

Thank you, GX1_Man.Let us know what you find out. In case you've not found it, >here< is the manufacturer's web site, which includes a support section. I SUSPECT in this case however, the problem lies with your graphics card's settings. What is your graphics card? Does it have features enabling the view to be compressed? It already looks like it can expand a view - hence why your 800x600 is full screen. LCD screens should generally be RUN at their native resolutions, since they do not have the same physical flexibility with PIXELS that a CRT monitor has.
