Well the 1600 x 1200 max rings a very loud bell for me.

I'm pretty sure if was this screen...

Uncheck the EDID and select the max resolution there? If not then it
deffo a drop down menu like that. It may be in Displays Manager.

I guess if you're getting it swapped it's not that big an issue. I
just *know* it could be sorted before then. Oh well!

what version on CCC is that, mine (9.6) does not look the same.


I'm not sure...I just found that screen grab online. Mine didn't look
like that either. I'm sure my CCC was grey and not white.

All I remember is the setting was on the same window as the EDID stuff
and I'm pretty sure I had to check or uncheck a box and then select
the resolution myself. I'm sure it is the same as the picture I posted
because it would make total sense. Your monitor now is displaying 1680
x 1050 on a resolution of 1600 x 1200 because CCC doesn't know your
monitor can do 1680.

It transpires the settings you show are for the VGA port. I and it appears
a
few thousand others are having the res problem when using the DVI port.
Bloody odd cos my last monitor had no problems whatsoever and it was the
same model but one month older.


when you press your monitor's menu button and scroll down to see what
resolution, what is it saying?

1280 x 960 at the moment for the best viewing. Otherwise 1600 x 1200 max
when allowed.

Yeah I remember because 1280 was the only other that fit and looked
ok. I also remember 1600 x 1200 was that the montitor would display on
1680 x 1050. I don't have any other info to help you with. If your CCC
is totally different to my old one then maybe you don't have the same
settings. I guess you'll just have to wait for your replacement!

sniped

OK, to be honest I would like a monitor with 2 DVI-D ports and have been
thinking hard on the Dell 2408WFP which gets exceptional write-ups

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/p...l/2408WFP.html

still lets see what S'sng offer. I'll report back when sorted.

thanks

You need to use this:

Is there something called "ColdFix"?
