Line down middle of the screen-resolution is different on sides

The effect is called fold-over, where the bottom of the screen is folded over the top half.

If you can get into the menu set up you can try and change scan settings and adjust them so that :-

1. The screen is moved down so that the bottom of the fold-over is at the bottom of the screen and the top of the windows screen is at the top (it is missing on the photo).

2. Adjust the vertical scan rate to resolve the fold-over problem.


Otherwise it needs fixing by a TV engineer that can fix monitors as the adjustments are inside.

Apparently the monitor screen resolution setting is not correct. Screen resolution stays up until it is corrected.

Either the setting is off in Windows, or you have been changing the monitor settings, with the monitor.

WinXP:

Right-click on an empty area of your desktop screen.
Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Left-click on the Settings tab.
Go down to where it states Screen Resolution.

What is the pixel setting? For example mine states 1600 x 900 pixels.
I am running dual monitors, and this is the correct screen resolution for the Primary monitor.

If it wasn't I would Left-click on the Slider, hold the left mouse button down, and slide the Slider to the correct native resolution.

(Under Screen Resolution is a line. To the left it states - Less
To the right of the line it states - More
The Slider is the rectangular down arrow on the line )

ALSO;
Under the Color quality heading, make sure in the box under it, that it states - Highest (32 bit)
IF not, left-click on the blue down arrow to the right.
Then left-click right on - Highest (32 bit)

How to know what is the native resolution for your monitor?
Look at the manufacturer name, and the model number on the back.
Type this information in your browser search bar, then click on the search icon.

Look for Specifications.

If you changed the screen resolution settings with the monitor, press the Menu button. The screen should go off.

ALSO, with a new monitor there is an Installation CD Disk, provided with it.
This disk MUST be used. It has the drivers for the monitor on it.

[ Drivers: Small pieces of software that allow the Operating System to 'communicate' with a device.

The monitor is a Device.
Windows XP, and Windows 7 are two examples of an O/S.

hi,
yes the 315 desktop card does have multi monitor support. you may however need an adapter for one monitor as it only has one dvi ,one hdmi and one vga.
so you can hook up any 2 as a combination but they have different plug configurations to do this

hope this helps

The HP w2207h monitor comes with an Installation Disk (CD)
It has the Drivers on it.
Have you used it yet?

If not pull the disk out, put it in your optical drive (CD/DVD drive), and load the contents.
After it has finished loading restart your computer, if not asked to do so.

When Windows has fulled loaded again, right-click on an empty area of your desktop screen.
Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Now click on the Settings tab.

Look down at Screen Resolution in the middle. Is the resolution what it should be?
The native resolution?

If not left-click on the slider, hold the left mouse button down, and move the slider left, or right, until the native resolution is what it's supposed to be.
[The slider is the down arrow looking icon on the line in-between Less and More]

Go down to the bottom right, and click on Apply.
Now down to the bottom left, and click on OK.

The native resolution for the HP w2207h is 1680 X 1050 (Pixels)
Should be set to 60 Hertz also. (60Hz)

right click anywhere on desktop>properties and set the screen resolution to a smaller value.

To change your monitor's resolution

1.

Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

2.

In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.

3.

Drag the Screen resolution slider to the left to decrease the resolution of your monitor, making text and pictures appear larger. Or drag the Screen resolution slider to the right to increase your monitor's resolution, making text and pictures appear smaller.

4.

Click Apply to have the new resolution take effect.

5.

If the Monitor Settings dialog box appears, look at your display. If you like the new resolution, click Yes. If you do not like the resolution, click No, and return to step 3 to try a different resolution.

6.

Click OK.

Microsoft Windows XP changes the resolution to the settings you chose.

· If I understand the issue, it sounds like the monitor screen is going out.

· But there are a couple of things to try since being close to a high voltage source or incorrect Resolution setting could cause something close to that.

·

· Let us start with the Display resolution since it is the easiest.

· Hold down on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.

· 1. Select System Preferences

· 2. Click on the Displays icon

· 3. In the box under Resolutions make sure a resolution selected has 60 Hz if you are running a Flat Screen (LCD) Monitor.

· If that is not the issue, try moving the Mac to a different location. (Next room)

· If that does not work, try booting the machine for the install disk, if it looks fine when running from the disk you could have a corrupt driver. In that case reinstalling the OS should fix it.

·

· Ok none of that works: Take the machine to your local Apple store for the Genius to look at. He should be able to tell by looking at it what is up.

· Best of luck.

Its is the problem of your monitor display. please contact service center ASAP.

The native resolution of you monitor is 1440x900. If you previously had it set at a lower resolution (say 1280 x 720) the text would appear larger than it does now. You can change the appearance of internet explorer by using the Zoom function (Ctrl +).

I took a look at the North American Fishing Club site and Yes .. it does have about 3 inches on either side of the page layout .. as does the FixYa site. This is the result of the way the site is designed. Some sites are designed in what is called "liquid" or "elastic" designs. What that means is the page stretches or shrinks to fill the screen, depending upon the resolution being used by the viewer's monitor.
This site (and the fishing club site) does not employ that standard but rather has designed the site so that the content sits in the center of the screen, with space on either side of the content.

Because you have a large flat screen monitor, you are using a high resolution .. which means you see the extra space. People using monitors with a lower resolution, say 800 x 600 .. are not seeing the space on either side of the content.

Why do some designer's do this you ask ... because it is best to design to the lowest common denominator (800 x 600 resolution) insuring that everyone is able to view all of the content on the site without having to scroll sidewards.

If you change your resolution to 800 x 600 .. you'll see what I mean. So .. No .. it's not your monitor .. just differences in web designs. Hope that clarifies it for you.

I have bad news for you.

The monitor you bought (Great Price by the way) is working exactly as designed. The problem is the 640 x 480 resolution. Almost all internet content now days is scaled for either 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 resolution. This is why every time you open a page you have to pan both left and right and up and down to see the entire page.

LCD monitiors are designed for a fixed resolution unlike CRT (TV Tube) monitors that can display different resolutions with equal clarity. This is why when you go to a higher resolution the screen is almost impossible to read.

Since your optimal resolution is 640 x 480, that is the only resolution that displays clearly. That is great for a TV, but sorely lacking as a computer monitor. It is also why the monitor was such a good price (a definite case of you get what you pay for here). So the unfortunate answer is that the monitor will never be satisfactory when used on the internet.
