1920x1080 Screen Size

Jeff,
I agreed with your input that it is probably related to drivers and the age of the video card but that I was not sure. When I made that statement I was satisfied that I probably wouldn't find a quick answer but then felt completed to respond to the "lip" thing.

Since I will be buying a new computer in March I can live with what I have. I was just looking for anyone who might have lived through this that could provide some insight.

Thanks,

I've just checked the Gateway site but can't see their support info without a serial number (and of course, what's printed as a product description is not exactly usefull for the purposes of solving this problem).

I suggest you give this route a try, there has to be a solution to this somehow, and I don't really think buying a new computer is necessarily it.

Sorry if I was a bit snippy yesterday, spending half the day trawling the Apple FCP chat forum investigating another bods problems here on DVinfo sort of fried my brain cells (such a depressing place to be).

Hey bud, it sounds like your monitor (not video card) is not set to 1920x1080
This is most easily accomplished by getting in INF file from the disk that came with the monitor. The inf file tells the pc what the max res of the monitor is.
Look on GW website for this file or on the cdrom that came w/ the monitor. They also seem to have a utility that does this for you, ez sync?

--In Windows Display, advanced, go to the video adapter setting and ensure it is at 1920-x1080. THEN go to the monitor and pick the gateway monitor you own.

Chris,
I have to disconnect the DVI cable and get a magnifying glass to read the serial number. My readers are not strong enough on their own. So I will do that this weekend and see if Gateway can tell me anything other than what is in their manual (auto size only works with VGA is stated in the manual).

Thanks,
