Trouble with monitor geometry
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Mike2
I need desperate help i spent 2 hours trying to fix my geometry so that all sides touched the borders of the monitor, but with trapezoid, taper, skew and the 5 settings other than horizontal vertical, its nearly impossible to fix this geometry problem without it having imperfections.
its there a program that can simply strech all angles into the monitor and keep them there?
Thanks.

Post your specs.
Most important, what's the name and model#'s of your video card and monitor?
What resolution and refresh rate are you using?
Posted by: Mike2
Compaq Presario Monitor, Flatscreen, Video Card: Intel Extreme Graphics

Refresh rate? Resolution?
Are you using Compaq drivers or just the default drivers provided by Windows for the monitor?
Posted by: Mike2
Refresh Rate 60hz, Using Default Drivers by windows, Resolution: 1024x768

i guess what would be an alternative question, and what would probably narrow down the options would be:
What is the optimal order of gemoetry settings to fiddle with, in trying to obtain a full screen picture parallel to all sides of the screen.
When i get stuck in that quagmire of geometrical madness, i usually just change everything to the middle possible setting, then work on size last. eventually i get it good. if this troubles you with every montior, consider an lcd.

actually i did search on goole just after i posted this and oddly enough, one of the top choices was right here.  small world

What do you mean should i consider an LCD monitor. How is geometry handeled on those Monitors?

for an lcd, its really simple, left right, up down. and about every monitor comes with a button that autosizes the screen to fill up pixel to pixel. the pixels on an lcd arent being aimed from 8 inches away, so theres no electron gun that can have it trajectory deteriorate. so the picture can not be skewed, warped, rotated, on an lcd.
lcd are more expensive, and have lower v-refresh rates, and only look good at their native resolutions. but much easier on the eyes and have a coolness slim factor.
only consider it if you read alot and your eyes hurt, you have a card powerful anough to handle all the games you want to play at 1024 x 768 or higher. and have the wallet for it.
for the most part dell makes the best functional lcd for price in the 17 inch range. pretty much all screens are made by the same company, they are just packaged in different housing and with different software and branded differently, so dont consider screen quality as a major deciding factor, unless it says the screen sucks.

Even though you may want to use 1024x768, lower the resolution to 800x600 to see if that will allow you to adjust to the edges. If you have the compaq drivers, try them, or if you don't, go to compaq's site, find your monitor under support, and download the drivers from there. If you are successful adjusting to the edges, you may want to consider bumping that refresh rate up if the monitor supports it. 60Hz hurts my eyes after 30 minutes or so.
