Problem with my New Samsung 943NMX 19" widescreen

M

I am facing a display problem of text but my image are great but little stretched or say wide. I am using 1024 X 768 resolution but the exact resolution is 1400 X 900. My motherboard is MSI VIA K8M800_CE + VT8237R Chipset with Via/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP.
So what to do, if i install a extra Graphic card the problem can be solved.

maybe ur inbuilt graphics do not support widescreen resolutions.. get a graphic card.

But my mother board is old say one and half years, i can get the graphic card for that and what graphic card to buy.

Update the gfx driver and the lcd are meant to be used at their native resolution, that's why the text seems to be stretched. Else install a gfx card, ur mobo has AGP 8X. Is this your mobo *global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1104&maincat_no=1

did u try changing the display res to the native res?

I think it's only a problem with resolution. Set it to it's natvie resolution. You will lose lot of detail if you set it to non-native resolutions.

Many thanks for the advice but i don't have the 1440 X 900 resolution in my system and if i install the gfx card i will have the native resolution or not i am confused, but i have a AGP slot in my motherboard. and what is mobo?

I don't have the native resolution 14400 X 900 in my system.

My display is set to 1024 X 768 and i do not have the 14400 X 900 in my system which is needed.

hmm. See if updating drivers might work else buy a GPU

No i updated all the bios drivers etc but nothing happened. What is GPU?

mobo = motherboard
GPU = Graphic Processing Unit aka graphic card

The only choice it seems is to get a gfx card. Get some low-end geforce 8 series card (8400gs or 8600gt etc.) cost would be around 2-5k.

Thanks, but you are sure that i will get the correct resolution 1440 X 900 and at the same time my text will not get spoiled.

What will be the price of a Motherboard + Ram + Processor which could support my Sumsung 19" widescreen monitor.Should be the cheapest because you know i will upgrade.

Most intel/nvidia/ati onboard gfx controller (say 2 years old) support 1440*900 resolution. Donno why, yours isn't?
Anyways, if you are thinking of an upgrade then tell us ur budget.

^^ Because his is entry level VIA's onboard gpu, which sucks big time when it comes to performance

Yes did notice that he has a VIA onboard gpu but didn't think that it would suck this much
