I understand the page, but what happens when you right click on the desktop,
choose Personalize, then choose Display Settings, and then your preferred resolution? Is it not there? "Wide Eyed Nerd" wrote in message ... I have a 19" monitor, and I want to run at 1600x1200.

But did you continue to:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...c24091033.mspx and read the following?: Change screen resolution Applies to all editions of Windows Vista. Which edition of Windows Vista am I using? Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They also appear smaller, so more items fit on the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items fit on the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images might have jagged edges. For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is a higher one. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. Whether you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have. 1. Open Display Settings by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Display Settings. 2. Under Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply. NoteWhen you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on to the computer. See also * Getting the best display on your monitor * Make text easier to read using ClearType Video card __elbasuer__ Video card A piece of computer hardware that converts electronic information into the text, images, movies, and animations that are displayed on a computer screen. Also called video display adapter, video adapter, or video controller. Wide Eyed Nerd wrote: I have a 19" monitor, and I want to run at 1600x1200.

The maximum I can get with it is 1280 × 1024.
I have a Radeon x700 and a 19" sony trinitron. In XP, and every other OS before that (even Linux), I have been able to run at 1600x1200. I would like to run at this resolution in Vista, but after reading that page, I find that MS will not let me go higher... unless someone can tell me how to get around this.

Is this applicable to your monitor? If so, it states the
"optimal" resolution is 1,280 x 1,024. Delivering superior image clarity and brighter colors, the fine 0.24-millimeter aperture grille pitch provides a perfect base for everything from spreadsheets and graphic presentations to browsing the Internet and advanced gaming. With an optimal resolution of 1,280 x 1.024 and a refresh rate of 85 Hz, the HMD-A440 supplies a flicker-free screen that greatly reduces eyestrain. (Maximum resolution is 1,600 x 1,200.) Why aren't you contacting Sony and asking them about this? Sony is the manufacturer of the monitor, not Microsoft! Lang Murphy wrote: What's the native resolution of the 19" Sony Trinitron?

There is no "native" resolution for CRT monitors, only maximum
and optimal.

LOL... I was assuming we were talking about an LCD monitor... never occurred
to me that it might be a CRT... I guess the "Trinitron" should've given it away, eh? Then I would have to assume the vid card driver is different in Vista... Lang "DCR" wrote in message ...
