When I select 1920x1080 resolution, an open window expands beyond the viewable area ie; the image is too wide for the screen. The max resolution completly visible is 1680x1050. I am using VGA connection and a Video card - nvidia geforce 7050pv / nforce 630a
Re: 1920x1080 resolution-entire screen not viewable
This also happens to my vga connection to my TV. I used my tv remote "auto" button to re-size it to fit correctly. If your monitor/TV does not have the adjustment, you may need to supply your vga compatible device with your monitor's driver software. This tells your computer what monitor specifications you have.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. I was able to solve my issue by switching from vga to dvi connection"

What are you sending to the projector? The ES4 is a native S-VGA resolution machine. This means it has a 4:3 display panel with a pixel count of 800x600. It will accept higher resolutions, but there may be some combinations that are 16:9/16:10 that the projector isn't happy with; specifically 1080p @ 24/50/60Hz. It maxes out at 1080i 60Hz. So if you are connecting a laptop with a native resolution of 1920x1080 then the projector will struggle.
The other thing you should do once you get a signal working on the projector is to set the laptop output to the projector's native resolution. This will give the crispest image.
Toggle the laptop display (Fn + appropriate F key) so that laptop screen is off and the projector is the only thing getting a signal. Then right click on the Windows desktop area, and then select Graphics Properties from the sub menu. Change the settings from there..
If your desktop is smaller than the dimensions of your monitor then follow the following steps to get a full screen:
Setting the resolution:
1) Right click on an open spot on your desktop and select Properties at the bottom of the popup menu.
2) This will then open up the Display Properties window as shown below.
3) Click on the Settings tab (it's to the top right of the Display Properties window as shown in the image below.
4) At the bottom left of the settings tab there is a Screen resolution heading with a slider bar beneath it. 5) Slide this bar to the left or right until you find the resolution you like. 6) The click Apply when you have found the right resolution.
Sliding the bar to the left = lower resolution, larger desktop icons and less quality. Sliding the bar to the right = higher resolution, smaller desktop icons and better quality. NB: If you are using a CRT (older screen) the max resolution will be around 1280x1024. Newer LCD screen (flat and thin monitors) can go way up to 1920x1080 and beyond if HD is supported.
NOTE: If when doing the screen resolution changes your screen goes blank after you click Apply then immediately hold down the Enter key to restore it back to your previous settings
If this doesn't work then it just maybe the case that you need to set the auto screen fit function on the monitor itself using the buttons provided on the monitor.
This tip is useful when you plug in a monitor and the screen displays the No Signal or Signal out of Range massages. Simply change the resolution to something the monitor can handle and there you go.

How to fix it depends on what operating system you use. For Windows right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution. Look under "What display should I use" and follow the instructions or simply drop the resolution down one step
The bands are caused by the monitor displaying a picture that is not the correct resolution. This model has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 according to LG - see http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/124873/review/w2353vpf.html#specs When you have your video card set to a different resolution that this the monitor tries to adjust the display to best fit the screen. The native or default resolution is 16:9 or wide-screen and if you have the video card displaying at 4:3 then you will have the blank bars displayed. Go to display properties and change your resolution to one that is 16:9 ratio and the bars should fill out.
I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.
Does your Windows "desktop" and "wallpaper" completely fill to the borders? If not, then you either need to reconfigure your video-adapter, or use the video-adapter controls to "widen" and "stretch" the image, to fill the viewable area of your screen.
Your screen probably wont recognise the dvi cable if the dsub is plugged in, you will have to use the buttons on the monitor to adjust the settings to dvi rather than it automatically using the dsub. also, ever tried adjusting the aspect ratio? to make it shrink abit to fit your screen.

If the feature is supported, the corresponding tab is available on the Adjust Desktop Size and Position page. If only one feature is supported, then only the controls for that feature appear on the page and there are no other tabs.
Scaling
The scaling controls let you adjust the size of the desktop to best fit your screen. The configuration that you specify may be overridden by the settings in the Resize section.
Select a scaling mode
Aspect ratio: This setting expands the desktop as much as possible while maintaining the same dimensional proportions, or aspect ratio, as the original image. There may be some black borders, but you may prefer this setting to avoid distorting the image.
Full-screen: This setting stretches the desktop to fill the entire display screen.
No scaling: This setting leaves the display image in its original size and centres it on your screen resulting in a small though crisp image. A black border may appear around the display image.
Perform Scaling on
GPU: This causes the GPU to scale the desktop from the set resolution up to the native resolution timing.
Automatic: This setting uses a combination of display and GPU scaling to scale the desktop from the set resolution up to the native resolution timing.
Override the scaling mode set by games and programs
When this check box is checked, applications cannot change the scaling mode set on this page.
Preview
Under the Preview section you can select a resolution and refresh rate, and then the preview image shows how full-screen applications will appear on the screen, using the selected scaling configuration. The available refresh rates will depend on the scaling method selected.
Resize
Some displays, such as HDTVs, extend the edges of the display beyond the visible borders of the screen. This overscan is intended to hide broadcast data that is not intended for the viewer. This results in hiding useful parts of the screen for non-broadcast content, such as the Windows desktop.
The best way to resize the screen in order to view the entire content is to use the controls provided by the display hardware.
The resize controls on the NVIDIA Control Panel are provided in case satisfactory results cannot be achieved using the controls on the display.
Position
Use the arrow buttons in the image under Adjust the desktop position to adjust the position of your desktop or image on your screen.
Firstly, i'm going to assume you have a 17" LCD monitor, and that you are running Windows XP. (what a guess!) =-]
Generally, you'd want to right-click the desktop in a blank area, select properties. This gives you the display properties. Go to the last tab across called "settings", then under "screen resolution", drag the slider up a notch and hit apply. If it looks right, leave it at that. If it's not quite right, go another notch and apply. Keep going until you have it right.
But on your 17" LCD monitor, running the DVI cable to the PC... the computer should already have detected it's maximum resolution. In this case, you can drag the slider all the way to the right and hit apply, knowing that this is the optimal resolution. Also on your Dell LCD, you should have several buttons for adjusting the screen. One of those buttons is usually a "self-adjust" or "auto detect" or "some other obvious thing" for self-adjusting the screen viewable area. It *should* do this automatically when you change resolutions, which your Dell 173FPb should do anyway. =-]
