Problem with my monitor

photex

Does anyone know how to fix this:
When my monitor comes back online from standby the contents don't fit the screen.
Or sometimes it works the other way around: the contents don't fill the whole screen and leaves two black bars at either side

Have you also tried installing the latest video drivers? ensure both screens are set to the appropriate resolution etc if your using dual screens.

I have the latest drivers installed.
The monitor is brand new, worked fine for about 2 weeks.
Sometimes it help to turn the monitor off and on.

Bring the monitor back. If it was brand new, worked for a couple of weeks, then crapped out. It's defective.....

Try a different CRT monitor and see if the same thing happens. Don't change any of the display settings or drivers. If the problem goes away then RMA your new monitor.
