NEC Monitor query

Seekerman · 03-19-2008, 02:16 PM

I have a new NEC Monitor SpectraView 2190 and a colleague has a similar NEC but the Photo Edition. We both understood that by rotating the screen from Horizontal to Vertical format the images would also do the same. My friend has made several phone calls to NEC today and really has not been given the answer. Both models seem to have the same settings, using OSM menu and an advanced menu. I have checked all the settings it is set so that when rotating the screen from Horizontal to Vertical format the image and programme (Photoshop) rotates as expected. The problem however is the Vertical format (portrait) gives an image that is full height, but very narrow. I can't find any on the menu adjustments that give a full portrait image (and the correct scale). It is possible to do some changes in Photoshop (Image>Pixel Aspect Ratio>D14/D16 Anamorphic (1.9)) that allows the full on screen image. However when you turn the monitor back to Horizontal format the images is all wrong and you have to change the settings again in Photoshop.

My question is :- should the image automatically adjust by just rotating the screen.

It the answer is yes, what are we both doing wrong.
