1) I tried it that way that gave it as the ONLY POSSIBILITY 1280x1024 and it made absolutely no effect. 2) Here are the specifications of the monitor: ____________________________________________________________________ Part Number HL7870S CRT 17" (15.7) 0.27 mm Dot Pitch Anti-Static/Anti-GlareAnti-Reflection Input Signal (Video) Video: RGB Analog Input Connector 15 pin D-sub Scanning Frequency Horizontal: 30 ~ 70 kHz Vertical: 50 ~ 150 kHz Video Bandwidth 100 MHz Displayable Resolution VGA up to 1280x1024 Active Display Area Default: 300x225mm Max: 320x239 mm Display Color Infinite Plug-and-Play VESA DDC 1/2B Factory Preset 720 x 400 (37.5/70 kHz) Modes 640 x 480 (37.5/75 kHz, 43.3/85Hz) 800 x 600 (46.9/75 kHz, 53.7/85Hz) 1024 x 768 (60.0/75 kHz, 68.7/85Hz) 1600x1280(64/60kHz) User Control (Microprocessor) Basic, Recall, Trapezoid Rotation (Tilt), Color Temp, Color Adjust, Preset Timing, Mode Self-Test Power Management Energy Star/VESA DPMS ________________________________________________________________ 3) Is it possible that 'The Factory Preset mode' 720 x 400 (37.5/70 kHz) rules so that I cannot change it what ever I do? How to overrun that rule? - hv
