Hello All,
I just bought a brand new 940BW LCD monitor and have a huge problem with setup. Samsung specs say that it has 1440x900 resolution, but it does not show up in my nVidia configuration panel. I tried creating a custom resolution and when I use it the screen does not scale correctly, the bottom and the right side are beyond the viewing area and I can't seem to fix it.
I tried using different drivers from Samsung, reinstalled my nVidia drivers (FX5600Ultra) and I tried using the LCD with my laptop (GF7600go). The display does not seem to work correctly in any resolution and the "native" 1440x900 is not even ready-set !
I am ready to go and try returning the monitor, but the store does not have a good return policy, just repair and/or exchange. It is Polish Media Markt and here in Poland we, the customers, are not necessarily right. God I miss US !
Any help would be appreciated !
Best,
DK
 
Yesterday I was tired and did not have enough patience to deal with the situation, but today I did some more searching on the net and found the solution to my problem. I will give you the links to step-by-step solution, just in case anyone else has similar issue. Basically thank you nVidia for crappy drivers.
Solutions are HERE and HERE.
Now the monitor works great. Case closed.
Best to all.
