Display size - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shroomster · 09-22-2009, 03:03 PM

we had this one time in o/t section where everyone said what size there screens were.

I'm bringing this concern up over here before it ruins a thread about a members boosted s2000. anyways.

I'd just like to say I have a 22" (horizontal

) screen I never figured out how to set up the display size correctly.

what I'm trying to say is this: my screen for Yarisworld is cut off

I get the upper task bar over to search and then I have to scroll over.
hope that makes sense.

is this an error on my part or YW?

you should be able to increase your screen resolution and see the whole thing. I can change my monitor settings and duplicate what you see.

Mine is currently set to 1280 x 800

Shroomster · 09-22-2009, 03:14 PM

yeah....it's on my end you're right Garm.

I just adjusted it unfortunately I can't get a refresh rate higher than 75mhz oh well

cali yaris · 09-22-2009, 04:45 PM

refresh rates I don't know much about. Is that a function of the graphics card or the monitor itself?

Shroomster · 09-22-2009, 06:15 PM

I thought it was the processor for the Tv (in this case at least I'm using a tv as the display)

I think the graphics card for the refresh rate of a monitor....but at any rate the card is refreshing the tv @ 75hz max on this display....I guess it's ok.

so bottom line is my display settings were out of whack not the websites hehe...

1680x1050 is my setting on my 22" screen. Give that a shot.

Shroomster · 09-22-2009, 08:19 PM

I have it set to 1280x720

geez the closest I can get is 1600x900 damn...now everything is stretched crazy like lol. The icons are so small and far apart....

I run a 22' monitor and keep mine at 1680x1050 refresh rate 60 hertz and I can see everything on every web site in correct symetry. Refresh rates are how often your graphics card or MB onboard graphics device sends a new signal your the pixels in your monitor. Refresh rates effect different monitors differently depending on the image latentcy (how long a pixel stays visable after it has been sent) Generally speaking the higher the refresh rate the better the image.

@Shroomster: Please post the monitor model and I'll try to see if I can find some information on it. AFAIK you shouldn't set your refresh rate to anything higher than 60Hz if it's an LCD.

Shroomster · 09-23-2009, 12:37 PM

^^^really?

C-NET specs

Dynex website specs

Bob Dog · 09-23-2009, 12:39 PM

I should have said that TK, thank you.

These days if your computer recognizes your monitor, plug and play will usually block damaging refresh rates, but I don't know what it will do with a tv.

*tk-421* · 09-23-2009, 01:05 PM

It's quite possible you will be able to get other possible resolutions if you set the refresh rate to 60Hz. LCD doesn't refresh the way old CRTs do. See http://bit.ly/Hq4Sg for more info

Bob Dog · 09-23-2009, 01:18 PM

Yeah, set the refresh rate 60 and see what resolutions show up on the dropdown menu it might not work, but its a very good bet. If it doesn't work you might want to go to microsoft and poke around for a driver that will be updated and more suitable, depending on the age of your software and equipment.

Shroomster · 09-23-2009, 01:29 PM

well I updated my graphics driver (never updated it for 6 years). I have a plethora of usable screen sizes now. I think I'm going to stick with 1280x720 with 32 bit color @ 60 hz

everything shows up and no horizontal slide-bar anymore. thanks for the clarifications and help!

Bob Dog · 09-23-2009, 01:30 PM

excellent! and when I get the time I'm going to read up on lcd monitors so I can update my knowledge. go geeks go.
