I purchased a new monitor and I am having problems with the resolution.
It is a Samsung SyncMaster S24B150 with an optimal resolution of 1920 x
1080 @ 60 Hz. The highest resolution that I am offered under
System/Preferences/Monitor Settings (in Mate) is 1360x768. That is also
the only setting that matches a 16x9 aspect ratio. I am using the
supplied VGA cable. Do I need to use a DVI cable to get the full
resolution? Or is there something else that I can do? Just today I
noticed that the image is not using the full width of the monitor. The
height seems to be correct. I don't think that it was doing this
before, but I don't see any way to adjust it, either through software,
or the monitor's menus. The monitor's menus give me the option of
'Auto' or 'Wide'. Using 'Auto' gives me a 4x3 aspect ratio and 'Wide'
uses most of the screen, but not all. Again, will getting a DVI cable
solve this? Are there drivers that I need to find and install? Any
other clues as to what to look for? All help appreciated.
