Widescreen driver needed for Soyo.

Vibu · 06-30-2008, 04:01 PM

I'm very inexperienced with drivers and have been having display imaging problems with my widescreen. I have a Soyo Citrine Series 20" Wide TFT LCD Monitor (DYLM2086). This is my first ever widescreen monitor.

I knew when I first got it, I noticed that my images looked stretched horizontally a great deal. I have put up with the problem for some time; a rather bad choice because I can no longer return it I believe (since I purchased it back in March this year from OfficeMax). If I knew I'd run into this much trouble trying to figure out the drivers, I would have just bought a square LCD monitor.

I barely knew what drivers were until yesterday. My computer doesn't provide any of the widescreen resolutions and I spent about 7 hours trying to find a solution before I decided I must ask help. It's become urgent for me to find a way to fix this because I do a lot of graphic art and I want to see my images the way most other people see them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I run on a Windows XP and have an ASUS A7V400-MX motherboard.

Hi,
Do you have the manual for this monitor?
If not, it's available from here............

Yes, I've already been there I know its a Plug and Play monitor however the manual is still really useless. There is nothing in there about drivers basically. They say you don't need it, but I still have this problem with the image stretching.

Thankfully just today I managed to get some tech savvy friends to help me out. My drivers are up to date and everything it seems like. It's just that I may need a new video card. My computer is kinda old, but I didn't figured it'd be that old. So I'm going to opt for a new video card that supports widescreen resolutions. Hopefully the new video card will fix it... Soyo could've at least mentioned that if I had problems that I may have needed a new video card. If only they could've supplied a simple answer like that I wouldn't have rummaged around the internet for hours.
