Thanks for your replies. When I look at the resolutions that one is not listed. Only 1600x900 and 1600x1024 are the highest ones on the list. When I set it at either of these the screen look really weird!!
I have been through all of the different ones and now have it set at 1280x800 as all the others didn't look right. On this resolution my photos look correct (not stretched).
The thing that's bothering me now though is that the text on web pages looks blurred and seems to have a shadow, it is not clear at all. I thought that buying an LCD monitor would be better. If I got a new graphics card installed would that make it better?
My graphics card at the moment is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400. Sorry about the long message, any suggestions would be most welcome.
