I just got a new Samsung monitor(20" syncmaster 205BW) to rep[lace my Viewsonic which died. The old monitor was 4x3 format. The new monitor is mailbox format. I installed the correct driver that came with the new monitor, but my desktop and all photos still have the "stretched-out" distorted appearance. What settings do I change to fix this? Thanks.

It may just be a case of getting used to looking at the new widescreen monitor, tbh, it can sometimes take a little getting used to.
I have two widescreen and one square monitor and now it's actually the square one which looks a little odd to me.
You can, of course, try messing with screen settings (right click on desk top/settings/screen resolution.
That may help.

Ghost image
We solved the problem of the letter box format by getting a new NVIDIAvideo card that supports that format, which the old one didn't. Now there's a really bad problem with a ghost image that makes the screen hard to look at and makes small print very difficult to read. Any idea how to fix that?
