Hey guys, my monitor resolution is 1280x960. I have a regular tv, not ws. But the max resolution my card says my tv supports is 1024x768. I'm not really technical about all this but when I play things from my tv to pc, people's heads are a bit stretched. Is there anything I can do to get it so the aspect ratio is good? Thanks guys!

I just got an S panel from newegg. Some questions I have though.
How do I turn off the blinking powerlight when the monitor is in standby?
Is the driver CD useful for anything?
Thanks.
You are regularly running the 226BW at 1280x960? Oh my.. For normal desktop use, switch to 1680x1050 and don't ever consider using anything else. For TV display however switch to 1360x1024 if your graphics card allows it, it should do the trick.
You don't and no.I just got an S panel from newegg. Some questions I have though.

I think somewhere in this thread it was mentioned what everything in the service menu does. I believe the only way to exit the service menu is to shut the monitor off and then turn it back on.Can anyone help?
I accidently changed the in the Service Menu the Panel Ch. No. to 4 first and then I thought, maybe it would reset at 9, but it still continued after 9.
I kept pressing hoping it would reset back to 0, and now I'm at 120.
Does anyone know how to change Panel Ch. No. back to 0 please????
I only wanted to check which version monitor I had, after that I wanted to go back but didn't know how so I tried holding the menu button
And what does that function do?
Thanx!!!
I know, I just read Samsungs website, in the Australian one it says "One" pixel anywhere.Chevelle, That is not going to do it. Samsung has a 17 dead pixel minimum before they consider it defective. If you got it from Newegg they will exchange it if it has 8 dead pixels.
When did you receive your S panel? I'm suprised they are still shipping S-panels, I thought Samsung stoped shipping them.

Ok, switched to 1680x1050 for regular display, I liked 1280x960. But when I switch to 1360x1024 for my tv, it doesn't display the whole image, i have to scroll up and down to get the full media player, so that resolution wasn't good. The closest i can get to fitting my whole pc screen on my tv is the 1024x768. So still need some help please.

You really don't want to use any other resolution than 1680x1050 which is the panel's native resolution and generally the only one that is not upscaled to fill the screen. 1280x960 looks horribly blurry.
Give us more details on what you are trying to achieve with your telly, that is what video source are you trying to direct to what display device and what software you are using, now it seems that you may actually be trying to display video from your PC on your TV which is exactly the opposite from what you said the first time. Make yourself clearer please.
Hi, ok i'll give you all the details. I am using Media Player, I am trying to watch whatever is playing on media player on my TV since it's bigger. The only resolution that actually puts the entire desktop on my tv is 1024x768, but it's not perfect, like it's a bit stretched, when I see people's heads they kind of look like coneheads. I've tried a bunch of divx files. So I am wondering if it's because my monitor is WS and my tv is a regular tv. I was looking around in media player to try correcting it but nothing worked. Is there another media playing device that can correct it? I used to have a FS monitor before and never had this problem.
My S panel is capable of 1920x1200. Has anyone else noticed this?

Actually....I tried this after reading your post. I needed to change my card settings to allow me to choose settings that it says my monitor will not support..and I switched it to 1920x1200. The monitor brought up a message in the center of the screen saying that it was not in optimum mode, but I only needed to hit the menu button on the monitor to get rid of it. Text isn't quite as sharp, but I'm kind of excited about this...worried too though. Could it possibly be doing harm to the monitor?
I'm not sure if it's in 1920x1200 or not. But I'm resolutely positive that it's not running in 1680x1050. There's a noticeable shift in the resolution, the image is defitely sharper, though for normal desktop usage I find having it actually set at 1680x1050 makes it more comfortable. But there's definitely a difference between the two.
Would you mind taking a photograph of your screen when in 1920-1200? Although, try taking a screenshot and see what resolution the image appears in.
When I'm in 1920x1200, my whole desktop doesn't actually fit on the screen. I have to move my mouse over to the sides, and my desktop moves about an inch and then stops. I haven't tried it in a game yet, but I can say that there is no fuzziness at all. It looks just as good as 1680x1050.

Of course there is a difference, just like there is a difference between 1680x1050 and say 1440x900, the point is, that the physical resolution of an LCD panel is fixed and any resolution other than the nominal is upscaled (or downscaled) to the physical resolution, which is 1680x1050 in case of the 226BW, hence the resolution output from the graphics card may as well be 1920x1200, however it is still displayed using 1680x1050 points by the display, just like any other resolution for that matter. BTW, making screenshots proves nothing in this case, a screenshot has nothing to do with the display device.
Everything else seems great. More specifically, when watching AVI, MPEG or DVD movies, the blacks and grays are crappy and look like blocks. Looks so horrible.
I could've lived with the bleeding (and it was bad bleeding, let me tell you), but not the blockiness and "shimmering" effect when viewing dark areas of DVDs.
Another well known problem for TNs technology is the accentuation of compression defects. The quality of movie encoding will have a direct impact on the image displayed. HD movies encoded in MPEG2 with DVD quality are a bit of a problem. So imagine what it would look like with a heavily compressed DivX
