15'4' Widescreen Screen Resolution

Question

I have a Dell D810 laptop with a WSXGA LCD. Screen resolution is 1680x1050. If I use those settings with my Bellsouth internet provider I only have half of the screen visible. I have to adjust my resoultion to 800x600 to fill the screen.   Anyone have a solution for this matter? Thanks Message Edited by BYYacht on 02-10-2006 10:43 PM

Download and install the driver update R104771.EXE from Dell Support.

My D810 has Radeon x600 with WSXGA LCD running 1680x1050. The display is beautiful except for some weird rendering of web pages in Internet Explorer.

I have done that update and still have the same problem half the screen. Dell tells me thats the way it is. I am shocked.

Hi,

this is definitely NOT the way it should be! The screen has to be filled at that resolution. I'm 100% sure because I also have a D810 with WSXGA. Dell probably didn't understand your problem and you'll probably have to contact them again.

Regards,
Tom
