For optimum viewing of text and other office-type applications, set the video card resolution to whatever the LCD pixel dimensions are. So, if your new LCD is 1280X1024, set the video card resolution to that. It the text/icons look too small, you can increase their size. For gaming/TV/video it matters less since text is not as important.

Now all you need to get is a TV tuner card, hook up cable/antenna/whatever to it, and watch your favorite programs in a little window while on the forums!

Just follow these instructions:

Go to your desktop (your main background itself, not the file location)
Right Click on the desktop
Click on Properties
Click on the Setting Tab
Adjust the Screen Resolution slide bar to 1680x1050

If that resolution is not available, you probably need to install the drivers for your monitor if you haven't done so already.

What do you mean drivers ?. There was nothing to install . all i had to do was plug it in .

Sean i tried what you said . there was no settings tab to click on .
