When I built my PC this winter, I bought an Acer 22 inch wide screen and it's the
best investment that made the biggest difference in enjoying my PC experience.

Got a question though.......SOME web pages work well with the wide screen BUT
some still only use part of the screen (like on my old monitor).

Is there a setting I'm missing here?
Is there a way to make all web site use the entire screen?

Also, I got a PLUG & PLAY DRIVER and went looking for an ACER DRIVER for this monitor
but can't find one anywhere, even on the ACER site.......

Do I don't need an ACER DRIVER if I'm using the software for my XFX card?

Anyone got any ideas? TY!

No settings. It's just how that website was layed out, that is all.

he's right, if you want, you can adjust your screen setings on the screen itself to strech the image so it uses the entire screen. but thats just a waste of time

I was always wondering about that as well, is there an actual monitor driver?

I always just assumed no, but you know if somebody could shed some light, on this that would be great.

if your using windows vista you can use ctrl+scroll wheel to zoom in onweb pages in internet explorer. This will fill the screen.

yeah my benq 24" monitor has a driver

actually is more of a firmware thing not a driver...

the plug n play is something that simply allows the system to recognize the addition of new firmware (hardware and addons) and allows it to use it
