tft monitor

[mindbullets]

ive just got a new19" samsung monitor and it seems to have a problem ,it will not work at the reccomended resolution (1280 x 1024) when set to this the screen goes black and a box appears saying ,not optimised reccomended res 1280 x1024 .

ive downloaded the latest drivers and software for my soundcard but still the problem remains .

when using another monitor (17" crt) it all works ok

so, is the problem with my pc or the monitor ?

any help appreciated

Errm, what's your soundcard got to do with it?
You need to ensure you have tyhe latest drivers etc, for you graphics adaptor.

You say it works ok with a 17" monitor - do you mean it works ok at 1280x1024? If so then it may just be that you have the wrong refresh rate set.

Right-click blank area of screen, choose properties
Go to the Settings tab
Click advanced
Go to the monitor tab
Set the refresh rate to 60 Hertz .

BTW when I got my 19" Samsung, I made the mistake of installing the software that came with it, which completely screwed my machine. After reverting to a restore point, I found that it works perfectly well without the software.
