my new Dell 2001FP LCD plays DVD's and video files distorted at full screen? need help

[jonesad]

Hello,
I have a Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1-inch Flat Panel LCD monitor, and i just tested out a DVD using Cyberlink PowerDVD software. It looks great, but once I make it full screen, the video gets very distorted. So I took an old avi file I have and played it in windows media player v10, when I make it full screen, the same thing happens. Is there something I need to do to make full screen video work on this monitor, or is this a downfall of this monitor no one mentioned?

any thoughts? I may have found out this is a driver issue, but I'd like other input before I put a beta driver on my machine.

Hey,

I run a 6800 gt with my 2001fp and was having the same probs. If this what you are running, there is a Digital Flat panel settings tab in the display properties. I selected monitor scaling I beleive, smoothed it all out.

Hope this helps!
