    Any one else have a problem with the sizing of the tables... when I have 4 tables (tiled) they get pretty small and still hard to follow most of the action. I have been stretching them to a larger size with minimal overlap.... Is there a way to adjust the monitor settings or something to fix this...
    Thanks if there is a fix....

    Just in case you aren't familiar with changing the resolution:

    Right click the desktop-----go into properties--------click on settings.

    you may have fallen into the trap of buying a large monitor with shitty resolution. Bigger is not necessarily better, resolution makes all the difference. Check your resolution where the other posters have showed you and that will tell you if there is a problem or if you jsut wasted a lot of money.

    When I tried to bump my monitor resolution up to 1600 x 1200 an error message came up saying "Not Supported"..... so much for this POS monitor.

    change to 1680x1050, highest res for that monitor. if it's still all messed up and not working properly then your video card has to be a pos. It just sounds to me like you're running it a terrible resolution right now.
