E207WFP, Driver?
Hi,
I recently received a Dell E207WFP LCD Monitor. It looks great but the display seems to be stretched horizontally.
I looked into it a bit. I have a Magnum XPert 128 XPert 99 XPert 2000 Display Adapter from ATI (6.13.10.5019). It's maximum display settings are 1280w X 1050h and worked fine with my old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF Monitor. My new Dell Monitor display settings can go up to 1680w X 1050h. Do I need a new display adapter (or graphics card)? Can anyone suggest one?
I have a Intel P3, 800Mhz system (circa 2001) and not a Dell, unfortunately.
Any help would be much appreciated!
James.

It's no wonder the monitor image has a 'stretched' look, if it's displaying a 1280 x 1024 image at 1680 x 1050 :emotion-3:
If your graphics card can only output at a maximum of 1280 x 1024, then that's the maximum screen resolution you should use on the monitor, else the image has to be stretched, to fill the screen
I'm afraid the only ways around it, are to either use a maximum screen resolution of 1280 x 1024, or upgrade the graphics card to one which can output images at least as high as your monitor can display - which all modern graphics cards can.
