Can't get native resolution on LCD monitor

#1 Post by DBrown67 » Thu Jun 25, 2009 3:46 pm

I have a T41 on which I'm permanently running an external 19" widescreen monitor. In Windows XP I can select the native resolution of my monitor for my desktop. (1680x1050). However when it is displayed the image is shunted over to the left. How can I get it centred? It does look very nice apart from it's off centre. :roll:

I've tried all sorts in the ATI Catalyst centre and also directly with the monitor menu itself. Best I can do is get it moved to the right by about 1 inch. Still leaves it off centre and unusable. I really would like to run my monitor at it's native res. Any ideas?? :?:

Is this a VGA connection? Most monitors have an auto adjustment button...press that.

If it has a DVI input, get a docking station and use DVI.
