Hey there.
I really am no expert whatsoever with PCs... I'm doing my best to elaborate my problem with the best wording I can find!
I have a 20'' LG Monitor. It's a wide screen. When I purchased the PC, the default screen resolution was 1600 x 900. Although the detail and the resolution is great, I have a hard time reading on it because the characters (letters and numbers) are small. A friend of mine proposed I changed the text size on internet explorer, which I did, but it only seem to make a difference on a number of sites or texts.
I tried other resolutions but it doesn't give me a 16:9 resolution. It's a 4:3 or even 5:4 ratio. There doesn't seem to be an option to keep my 16:9 ratio. The text, although visible, is stretched.
When I check the screen resolution settings (Win XP), there are two numbered screens. If I change the resolution, it changes screen 1 and screen 2 just ajusts consequently. Is it a setup so I can switch from screen 1 to 2?
As I am writing this message, I changed my resolution to 800 x 600. It's nice and big... and stretched. Could I run into some problems by using such a resolution? I'm mostly concerned about gaming. When you play certain games, the game might play on a different resolution (I don't know if I'm wording this right, hope you understand what I'm trying to say).
Thanks in advance for your input.
