I just got a bran new IBM 21" Thinkvision flatscreen CRT. It says resolution can go up to 1950Xsomething or other like that, at 75hz, but 1600x1200 at 85 hz. first off, in windows, both those resolutions are screwed up and stretchy. secondly, when I use the onbaord whatever on the monitor, change brightness etc., it says 60 hz. How do I raise that? it goes to 85. Also, occaisonally, it get VERY blurry, can barley see the screen, then it CLICKS real loud, and goes back to focus for a little. any suggestions here, I don't know whats going on.
 
well.. the blurring is probably the causs effect. (it basicly means, the metal case of the screen is charged.) for this, a monitor usually has a degauss button.
(look for a u shaped magnet symbol with a ling through it.)
 
Hmm... dont see it. unless its this button that makes the screen go kinda, side to side. doesn't clear it up tho. Also, there are black bars to top, left, and right side of screen. how do I rid those?
 
no, when I adjust the screen, it gets like, even blacker, lol, if possible, in the area i moved it from, the bars are on both sides (and top) anyway, so that doesn't work. I think its like, resolution or something. those bars are filled in bios, and bootup though... so they aren't dead pixels or nothing... The veiwable screen after the "dead space". It's not cutting anything off, just not utilizing about an inch or so of the monitor.

1. Make sure you've got the latest monitor driver installed (not the plug & play ones) as well as the latest video driver.

2. Set the res to 1600x1200 @ 85HZ (it may support higher Hz but for now)

3. Adjust the picture using the stretch, zoom & position settings within the monitor adjustment settings on the front to make the picture fill the whole screen.

4. Finally use the 'Degauss' function.
