Okay so Ive had this monitor for a good 3 years.... It might be at its end. But tonight I booted up windows and the desktop was stretched beyond the screen. So I thought WTF! I went into the monitor settings and stretched the horizontal settings to the max (all the way to 0), and the desktop is still cut off a little bit. Does this mean the monitor is almost at its end?
Any fixes?
Edit: ohh yeah its a CRT with a max resolution of 1600x1200 (which im running it at)

Could it possibly be something with your computer/video card? Have you tried hooking up the monitor to another computer, or another monitor to your computer?

Delete / lock this thread moderators. I booted up this morning and its back to the way it was (it was squished - I just readjusted to fix it).

My monitor does that when I switch it on before windows is fully booted. It's like windows can't send the correct settings to the switched-off monitor on startup.
