Screen Resolution
Tags: Hardware software
Over this past week I adjusted 3 or 4 fairly new wide-screen monitors to their proper resolution. I don't know how people don't see this, but all of the screen resolutions were set incorrectly, so everything was fat and short (much like how many people end up watching their fancy new wide-screen TVs because they don't know how to set them up properly.) It's very important to get the aspect ratio right. Further, LCD screens have a native resolution where they're most happy. With these huge newer screens, that resolution is often 1680x1050. If you can't seem to set the correct resolution you may need to upgrade your graphics card driver. But trust me, you'll be much happier when you have it set properly.
