The wide screen monitor with it's stretched view is no good for working with photos, as it distorts their dimensions. Is there an easy way to switch between the stretched view and a normal width view?
I have the 2007WFP monitor and unfortunately Dell don't offer an option to buy an English PC in Spain, so everything's in Spanish, therefore I can't read the manual that came with it.
Thanks very much for your help, but the optimal resolution of 1680 x 1050 is unacceptable as it makes everything too small! I'll know to buy a normal width monitor next time.
I've found the solution that works best for me is to use the menu buttons on the monitor and change the wide mode to a different aspect ratio, but unfortunately the monitor doesn't save the setting, so every time I restart I have to go through the somewhat long process again. It's a shame, because on the grounds of quality, this monitor is spectacular and I'm reluctant to change it for another, but it doesn't my needs since I work with images a lot, so will probably have to :smileysad:
I have one and love it. You could try setting a custom resolution of 1440x900, but the loss of sharpness from interpolation would probably be unacceptable.
