LCDs in general, and your monitor in particular, shouldn't be doing that. They've been around for years on laptops and most of a decade for desktops. Size shouldn't matter either; they're all high resolution. The reason it may appear stretched is because whatever resolution you're setting in your video card Control Panel is not proportional to your desktop setup -- it may be more or less rectilinear. But a monitor is generally a dumb device. Have you checked your video card's drivers to make sure that they're the lastest&greatest? And depending on video card brand, the manufacturer probably also provides some free display tweaking softwware. Also, look at Microsoft's ClearType utility, which is designed to improve legibility on LCD screens. Art
