Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HS monitor for my HP Pavilion computer (running Windows 7 64 bit). The monitor's optimum resolution is 1920x1080 but when I set it to this resolution, more than half the taskbar and half the column of left hand screen icons are cut off. I can view the task bar and icons if I set the resolution to 1768x992 but if I do this, I continually get the message that my monitor is not set to optimum resolution (this message lasts for quite a while).
I contacted Samsung Support but they just said to read the manual. I've read the manual but still can't figure it out. Using the OSD, I want to make horizontal and vertical adjustments but apparently this can only be done in Analog Mode and I can't figure out how to get into Analog Mode.
The monitor is connected to the computer with an HDMI cable which the store threw in with the monitor/computer purchase and they said to use to connect the monitor to the computer. At the computer, the HDMI cable connects to the computer using an HDMI to DVI adaptor.
(A design difficulty with this monitor is that it is quite difficult to see the controls on this monitor; they are under its bottom right hand side; I use a mirror to see them.)
I've downloaded the latest drivers (using Device Manager) for the monitor and video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260). Can someone please help me with my resolution problem?
