How to set the screen resolution to fit monitor
original title: monitor
I have a large screen, but it seems as if it was a waste of money because I don't get to use the middle of the screen. Can someone tell me please how to get full use out of my monitor? do I need some sort of version beta or something?
Your description is not very clear, are the main steps to configure your display:
-Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card & monitor installed Windows 7 .
-Search in the manual of your monitor and find out what the native resolution & refresh rate are for example (1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz), then go to:
Start-> Control Panel-> display
and together that view you these settings.
-If you have black borders around your screen, you should increase the size of your screen through the software installed normally with your graphics card. For a basic card ATI look for a feature called overscan/underscan. Look for the option to increase the size of the desktop in the nVidia Control Panel for nVidia cards. For othe graphics cards check support manual/website for advice.

How to set the screen resolution?
Original title: on screen display with the unused space on the sides
It is probably so basic, but my display is not full screen, even if I put it in full screen. There is an inch of space black unused screen on each side of the screen. What should I do? Thanks in advance
Hello
You're probably not using the correct resolution, IE: you use a display standard aspect ratio when you have a widescreen monitor. This can be corrected in the settings/personalize/display of the Control Panel, adjust the slider to resolution here.

In the worst case the screen resolution is not supported :(
But you can check the following:
Go to settings of display properties (right click on desktop > properties > settings). Click Advanced, and then select the monitor tab. * Uncheck * the box Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.
After this check again the screen to external monitor resolution.
I hope that helps! :)

Cannot bar resolution move to set the screen resolution
I just installed vista and everything was huge! I went screen resolution under Customize and there is no other options on the scroll bar expect I am the one on which is 640 X 480 at an average of 16-bit color, I tried to update the drivers for the card and the screen but its still the same, I also reinstalled vista but its still the same HELP!
Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
If there is no graphics Vista drivers available for your model, nothing can be done about it.
Then:

Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
See you soon.

Tecra M7: Unable to set the screen resolution to 1680 x 1050 on external screen
I have a M7 and a 1680 x 1050 VX2025 viewsonic monitor.
I can't set the resolution for external display in clone mode or dual mode.
Infact I can not get any resolution of the screen to exit the M7.I tried this in Windows XP and Vista with drivers from the toshiba Web site.
Any ideas on how to force this resolution?
Thank you
Hello
Are you sure that the graphics card supports this high resolution!
If all goes well it s not a material limitationBut especially if the display resolution is not available the graphics card driver does not support this resolution of the screen.
In this case only the new driver installation and usage helpWhat graphics card is installed on your laptop? Graphic chip Intel?
If you use an Intel graphics card, then I recommend to visit the Intel page and search for a compatible driver on this page. Some users here in the forum said that the Intel drivers could help choose the preferred resolution. -

Satellite A300-18 has: how to increase the screen resolution
I have recently buy a Toshiba Satellite A300-18 a, and I want to increase the resolution of the screen.
Currently the max resolution is 1280 x 800.Does anyone know how to increase the resolution?
Where can I find the drivers to increase?Thank you
Henrique
Hello
I don t think a new graphics driver would allow a higher screen resolution on your laptop A300.
Have you checked your manual for more details?I downloaded the user manual of the Europe of Toshiba page and discovered that the display is a 15.4 WXGA 16Mill colors with the following resolution: 1280 horizontal and 800 pixels vertical.
It seems that you are already using the highest available resolution and therefore you will not be able to wear to higher values.
