Isn't this just a question of selection the screen resolution with the appropriate 16 x 10 aspect ratio?

My iMac widescreen is running at 1680 x 1050.

Hallo Gorgeous!

I knew you'd come to my aid.

I know sud all about this kind of thing.

I just plugged it in, it found a driver on my machine and off it went. I like it as I don't have to scroll web sites, but Mr C isn't do impressed...

The biggest resolution I can get is 1440 x 900.

I might have a look at the Samsung website and get the proper driver for it...

Careful! The wife is watching.

Should have bought a Mac!

Ah..

Hallo Mrs OH!

Ooh - I've set it to 1440 x900 and it looks much better!

I have just checked the spec on the 940 and I think 1440 x 900 might be the highest resolution possible.

Actually I'm buying a macbook pro in the New Year.

I'm struggling with the extra 1k spend for a pro though...

I've not researched the Mac laptops recently but I have always thought that a standard Macbook would probably be adequate for work related stuff.

I've not bought a high end Mac for a while now and I have always been more than pleased with the lower spec models that I have chosen.

I think you've saved me a grand!

I'll spend a bit extra for 2-3gb of ram though, obv...
