My Screen starts up out of position

Former Member

Hi all,

I recently bought a new computer screen - It's a 24" widescreen, Full 1080p etc. I'm very happy with it, only when it starts up - the horizontal position is wrong. The image is always too far to the left and theres a large black margin on the right side. I keep having to use the monitor OSD and set the H position from 50 to 92 to get it set properly. It's a pain in the arse. Any way I can fix this?

What version of Windows you using?

Generally, on the desktop right click, and goto your display settings. There should be something buried in there to align or calibrate the monitor correctly. I can tell you on Windows 7 where it is, but it's different on each version.

When you move the mouse to the non-black margin.. does the screen move to the margin is on the right?

I don't think it's an aspect ratio issue but check your monitor for a streach to fit function or some alignment feature.

Are you using it as a laptop / secondry monitor?

1) Reinstall your graphic card drivers.
2) Use the OSD to "reset" to defaults.

and as said above, check the resolution to match your display.

is there an 'auto' option in the monitor OSD? cos i've had this problem in the past and thats solved it in my case.
