[Nottingham] New Monitor

[Ron Wilton]

Thanks for your reply, Jim.

How do I make the suggested changes. In Ubuntu there's a Screen Resolution programme, but this does not allow changing the pitch and entering of the actual screen size.

Thanks

Ron

At a glance, your monitor native frequency is 1366x768 (which isn't
bad considering it's an uberbudget monitor but still seems a little
low for the screen size - I have a 17" standard ratio which is native
at 1600x1200 and that's a 5 year old HP), so with a bit of number
fiddling, you need to set up your monitor geometry manually (as is
usually the case on widescreens) with the following:

pitch: 0.300mm
measure horizontal and vertical panel dimensions with a tape, you'll
need these numbers for setup as well, because the pixel dimensions
suggest rectangular pixels rather than square - again unusual for a
compiter monitor and bound to make life interesting - what you
actually have there is a HDTV panel with a VGA connector.
