Sold both of my older builds on Kijiji, since selling house and moving
into an apartment space is at a premium, unused stuff has gotta go.
Anyway it all works and seeing it doesn't do any harm I guess I'll just
leave it a mystery. Thanks for trying to sort it out.

You're welcome, Rene.Â* I enjoyed the mental exercise.


Having slept on this issue over night, would you want to try something
just for fun?

Try 1440X900, and see what you can do with that.




OK, that looks not bad but leaves about 3/4 inch black on each side.
Got a post from Mark Loyd a little while ago suggesting 1600x900 which
really works great, fills the screen fully and is 16:9, Wonder why I
didn't see it myself, I guess we just see what we want to see at times. :-)


Hmmm... 1600X900 was not in your original list of possible resolutions.

As I just replied to Jonathan Little, your original list of resolutions
as 3 resolutions that are 16:10, which just does not make sense to me if
the monitor is truly 16:9.

Have you tried all the different tweaks shown in Ease of Access with
both resolutions?
