Screen has shrunk

jvijay86 · 18-12-2004, 12:29 PM

the screen size in my monitor has shrunk. those buttons on the monitor which are used to increase and decrease the size are not working. i've even reinstalled the drivers but there's no improvement. i use windows 98. i have a pentium III 450hz processor.

What Exactly are u Talking about The Screen Size as In the Resoultion or The Actual Screen Size adjusted by The Buttons on The Monitor?????

Anyways If it has Been messed up By After Playing some games or something else Then Right click on a empty desktop and click on Properties and then click on the settings Tab And then Increase ur Screen Resolution to 640x480 or to 800x600.....

Or If ur Monitor Buttons arent Working Then There's a Problem With ur Monitors Button's And for This The Dealer has to be contacted for and get it serviced...... 8)

And Yea By The Way Welcome to The forum Mate 8)

Increase the refresh rate of the monitor from Default to optimal or the 75k above.
If you can't get that your monitor is physically damaged. Try Degaussing and check if there is any change.
Remove all the magnetic speakers near the Monitor.

WRT this topic I wud like to add,
Monitor -> LG Studioworks
AGP Card-> GeForce 4 MX 440
------
At 1024 X 768 RES , Refresh rate is 60

At 800 X 600 RES , Refresh Rare is 72

Damn And I don't want to try 640 X 480 .
LG Studioworks is a pretty good monitor then why this so? Driver Problem ?

if it is completly shrunk then and those buttons does not help much then it could be hardware problem...

I had faced this problem in one of the machines in the office....the display size was almost half of the monitor size i.e. around 7"

Show it to hardware guy he will do it in a day or so..

no use dear...

i m sorry to say that u will have to buy a new monitor

u wud b really lucky if some one can do something with the monitor n mend it for u

but finding such a person is very difficult since it is a difficult task ..

hardware vendors will just take ur monitor n try something but very rarely will b able to do something .... its just waste of money giving it for repair

if ur monitor is still in the warranty period u will get a replacement from the company but other wise just try n sell it .....

n buy a new one
