all the 19" flat screens are kept nice and clean in head office. Title: Re: one for the techies Post by: kinboshi on December 05, 2008, 01:45:54 PM That definitely looks like changing the settings on the monitor menu would fix it (by that I mean the buttons on the actual monitor rather than anything through the computer).
But if you've tried that then I guess the next solution would involve a hammer. Title: Re: one for the techies Post by: Graham C on December 05, 2008, 01:49:01 PM I take it you've saved the settings on the monitor once you've changed them and not just exited? (if there is an option to save)
A quick tidy up wouldn't go a miss either ;) Title: Re: one for the techies Post by: cia260895 on December 05, 2008, 01:59:57 PM That definitely looks like changing the settings on the monitor menu would fix it (by that I mean the buttons on the actual monitor rather than anything through the computer).
