Help running my new 32" LCD and 2005fpw in dual

[MrMiyagi]

Just got a cheap 32" Westinghouse and it's side by side my Dell 2005fpw. I wanna run these things dual screen but I've got no option for 1280x720 for a rez (GF 6800). I can get it to run dual (2005fpw DVI, Westinghouse VGS), but the rez is too high for the LCD and doesn't fit the whole thing.

Don't know where to start....

Thanks.

Err... 1366x768 or whatever...it isn't there to choose...

This may be a dumb reply, but most people run 1360x768 rez for those displays.

Yeah, it took a simple driver update that included more HDTV dual monitor friendly options 😉

In most cases, driver updates will help you with that, esp as more people are considering HDTV type displays for double duty (computer general tasks and TV).

Other than that, I have found unchecking "Reduce DVI Frequency on High resolution displays" to fix problems where the screen is cut off by 1/8" on one side and black bar on the other side. (some newer drivers have caused this screen cut off issue)
