Default Does NVIDIA driver have an option to center and not stretch non-native resolutions for LCD monitors?

Hello,

I recently replaced my old dying 17" CRT monitor with a 19" LCD monitor.
I hate the stretch feature when not using non-native resolutions. Is
there an option in the newest NVIDIA drivers to not stretch and just
center the non-stretched resolution (e.g., 800x600)? I can't seem to
find it.

Thank you in advance.

If using the old Display Properties: Settings/Advanced/your video card tab.
Within one of the items in the list on the left, there should be a "Device
Settings.." button that will have settings for your monitor. In there, you
can change it to center, scaled, etc.

If using the new nVidia Contol Panel: Display Settings, Change Flat Panel
Scaling. Do Not Scale will center it.

Thanks! I will check it out when I get home. I can handle black
borders, but not stretched screen espeically with texts. Ugh!

Strange, NVIDIA driver thinks I am using CRT even though I have the
correct monitor driver installed showing in Windows XP Pro. SP2's Device
Manager. What the heck? Even my Linux NVIDIA driver thinks the same.
Eh?

I forgot to mention I am using VGA connection due to my old 2-ports
Belkin KVM since I share computers with PS/2 mouse and monitor. I also
had a 17" Samsung SyncMaster 763MB CRT before I got this new Samsung
SyncMaster 931BF LCD monitor. Driver just says "Samsung SyncMaster" but
no model number.
