The screen is a ASUS MW221u (22" widescreen), which according to what I read on the web has a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. There's no useful documentation with the monitor at all, to tell me different.

At 1480 x 1050 the desktop fits the physical screen with no scrolling. The desktop does look stretched in the horizontal.

If I set the resolution to anything higher than 1480 x 1050 scrolling occurs, just as I would expect if i set my laptop to 1280x1024 which has a native resolution of 1024x768.

Setting the MW221u to 1680x1050 (supposedly it's native resolution) there is considerable scrolling in the horizontal and no scrolling in the vertical.

NVIDIA on the computer has 1680x1050 listed as it's highest resolution that I can set, so I haven't been able to try going beyond that.

I can't remember what happens if I set it to 1400 x 1050 right now (and am at work so can't give it a shot).

When I was trying it last night I went through the resolutions incrementally and found 1480 x 1050 was the highest I could go without scrolling occurring.

The NVIDIA card is a FX5200.

Thanks,
Roger.
