Display is too large for my monitor - Creative Home Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2008

screen back light on the other side is busted which need replacement.

Hook a spare monitor to the pc to rule out the video graphics card, if okay! the HP monitor has a serious issue, just to be sure! change the video cable from the monitor to the computer, if no change! the monitor will need to be repaced. There is a large circuit board on the back of the LCD it processes the video, colour, brightness and more and is apart of the display.

the old monitor is old square screen
you PC , PnP plugs and plays that reloc
and sets the GPU chip to use that tubby shape
then you extend it and expect 16x9 wide video
dump the VG700b in the trash, move on. and up 2011 newer wide screens.
old is 1280x1024
, max, called tubby. a blast from the past. and no fun./
SXGA 5:4 aspect ratio is not 16:9 OR 1080p

YOUR USING PROJECTION SYSTEM NEW
WITH RELIC MONITOR. OOPS./

First thing to do is determine whether the problem is the monitor or the PC.
Do you have another PC you could try the monitor on, or perhaps a friend will lend you a monitor for an hour or two?
Obviously if the display is ok on another monitor, then the problem is your monitor, however if the display is still "too big" then the problem is the PC.

By the way, when you say the display is "too large" what EXACTLY do you mean?

plug your LG display into the DVI port and the BENQ into the VGA? it may just be a random compatability error.

Increase the resolution of the monitor with the really large image. Also, in vista and windows 7, go to display and there should be a button to reduce the size of whats on the screen.

try this link out.... Acer Monitor X233H won stay on large display Google Search

You need to increase the resolution of your desktop.

Goto Display Properties->Settings

try adjusting your system resolution to a largest one (as 1280 x 800), or using a DVI cable, if your monitor and video card supports it.

Try Control Panel - Appearance or Display- You can change how your 2nd display looks there.. Sounds like you have it set in Clone mode...(both displays show the same things)...See if you can reset the 2nd display resolution while keeping the laptop in its normal resolution. Not all machines can do this...but most recent ones should be able to.
