Here's the whole story, My roommates and I built a projector out of an overhead and old LCD monitor, based on the article from Tom's Hardware (Part 1, Part 2, My Blog Entry). The projector works wonderfully, but the LCD screen (which we got for free), is to large for the stage of the overhead.
I wrote a program that allows for resizing of a Windows Media Player object, and that takes care of movies, but I was wondering if there was a way to shrink the screen, such that everything would be able to fit (windows desktop, other programs, etc...). The monitor currently runs at 1024x768, (knocking it down to 800x600 doesn't do the trick like it does on some LCD screens), and the video card is a Radeon 9600XT. I've tried both the video card controls and the monitor controls for resizing the screen, but the picture sevearly suffers as it get's smaller and the range isn't good enough to fit everything. I need to take off about an Inch from the left and right sides, and maybe a few rows of pixles off the top and bottom, but I'll take what I can get to maintain the 4x3 aspect ratio.
Any ideas?
