I have been using a LG W2353V monitor for close to 4 years and had no trouble until today. After turning on a Steam download and turning the monitor off while I left the house to run errands (an exceedingly common sequence of events), I came home to turn the monitor on and find 3 inches on either side of the display being unused.
The resolution remains the same, 1900x1080 through Windows and the nvidia control panel, but has been compressed to use only 60% of the monitor. This makes text incredibly difficult to read, among other obvious problems (tried playing Starcraft, got a migraine). I tried unplugging/replugging, updating the graphics driver, and going to + from a vareity of other resolutions, all to no avail. Multiple reboots all end up with the monitor using only 60% of its display, and the computer works fine otherwise, so I am assuming this is a product failure in progress for the LG monitor.
Is my assumption correct? Are there any good suggestions for a monitor with similar specs (>=23 inches, 2ms response, minimum 50000:1 contrast)? I have checked LG's current offerings and they seem to all be in the 5ms range, and I don't know how reliable ASUS or other big players are.
