changed to a larger monitor

[lesg]

I've just swapped my old 15inch dell monitor for a new samsung 22 inch,but the display does not fill the whole of the screen. I would say I'm getting a display measuring 16 inch corner to corner, while my screen measures  about 22 inches corner to corner. Is this normal,or is there an adjustment I can make so that the display fills the screen?

Did you go from rgb to lcd? Are you using the analog or digital connection to the the video card?

Tell us about your computer, mainly the hardware specs.   What version of Windows?  What display adapter does it have?

Right clik an empty desktop spot...select properties...then choose another resolution...
You may have to try a few to get it where you want.

Thanks patio-I did as you said and selected  1920x1080 and it has given me full wide screen display. Thanks all.
