- VSIZE and HSIZE controls on an LCD monitor?
- Posted by Christopher M. on February 18th, 2006
It appears that my monitor doesn't have controls for changing the VSIZE and
HSIZE.
Is this feature only available for CRT monitors?
Is there a program I could use to scale my screen?
Thanks.

yes you should not need V or H resize on an LCD. Why do you
focus on them?
Your video card might have some manual adjustments in the
driver control panel, but if you have the option to (you are
using) DVI, even those are likely missing or non-functional.
What exactly do you want to do when you wrote "scale my
screen"? I mean a specific example scenario? What video
card do you have?

I have some vision difficulties. A big screen is too much of a distraction
for my eyes.
I'm just refrering to changing the VSIZE and HSIZE attributes to stretch or
shrink images on my screen.

Thanks for your help, but that wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Maybe I
haven't explained my self sufficiently.
Basically I want to be able to shrink my whole screen (e.g. if a window is
maximized on the screen a scroll bar will be on the right, a status bar will
be on the bottom, and a menu bar will be on the top. I want to be able to
shrink this whole area (as can be done with most CRT monitors), so that the
remainder of the screen (outer edges) are black).

This seems counterproductive. If the screen is too large,
why did you pay the slight premium for a larger display?
Why not simply move the monitor backwards a few inches?
If vision is a problem, how is it worse to have a large
easily legible display instead of a small one?
Regardless, you have two options:
1) Don't maximize windows. if you want them smaller then
don't "make" them larger. Also use smaller fonts, since
shrinking the large display to a smaller size is essentially
a similar result until the fonts are shrunken down to
resolutions where the limited # of pixels degrades their
shape.
2) Run lower resolution and set your video card properties
to not stretch the output. nVidia cards have about 4
settings relating to output scaling including monitor
scaling, video card scaling, fixed ratio scaling and
Centered Output. The latter is what you'd want. With ATI,
they'd had 1:1 and stretched, with the former being the
correct choice. There might now be more options in the CCC
(Catalyst Control Center), if nothing else helps and you
haven't installed CCC you might try it.

It was on sale.
Can't--no room.
Something to do with the size of the 'field of view' and visual overload I
think.
Thank you.
