In the case of Samsung's 940BW that would be 1440 x 900. I am hoping that all the 940BW users that had problems before are using the unit without any problems. I think the whole transition from 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:10 aspect ratio was bumpy to say the least. The transition would have been much smoother if Windows XP had built-in base drivers for 16:10 pixel formats, just like it did for 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. aliquis is correct: It is always recommended to run LCD monitors at its pixel format.

The text probably looks like sh*t because you use another resolution and it tries to rescale it to it's native resolution and therefor some pixels get twice the size and some don't and therefor it looks like sh*t. Just use the correct resolution and you will probably do fine, try the reg thing here. lol, so it’s Samsung fault that you don’t check if your card can give it the correct resolution?

The resolutions to be tried are 1280 by 768 instead of 1028 by 768 pardon me. The resolutions to be tried are 1280 by 768 instead of 1028 by 768

The text was blurred. but after some googling i found that none of the websites (or blogs) mentioned this issue. after some experimenting i found the solution to this problem: The resolution must always match the aspect ratio of the monitor, in this case it is 16:10, so the most ideal resolutions for this resolutions are 1028 by 768 and 1440 by 900. use these reolutions then u should be able to see crystal clear text. if not then read on... Some times there is a timing issue with the cards. now try to set the timing mode of the graphics card to General Timing Formula if it is not. If you are still seeing garbled text then first press the auto button on the monitor and if you are still not satisfied the do some coarse and fine adjustment. Hopefully this should solve the blur problem. If u feel the text is too sharp (If you did some too much fine tuning :) then enable the clear type fonts and Viola! U'll know that you possess one of the best monitors in the world! -Vamsy (vamsum_kris@yahoo.com) I bought this monitor yesterday and I was not at all happy with it at first.
