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. -- "When many work together for a goal, great things may be accomplished.

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. RF. |

I will check it out when I get home. I can handle black borders, but not stretched screen espeically with texts. Ugh! -- "When many work together for a goal, great things may be accomplished.

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. -- "When many work together for a goal, great things may be accomplished.
