OT: new computer - need help...

tsalems1

Just bought a new Dell Running Vista. Also got the 24 in widescreen HD monitor. I have everything up and working great. I am having 1 problem though...
When I view photos - on ebay for example - the pics look short and fat. I have the same problem when im viewing photos of cards im scanning. Im going to include a pic here..
to me this card shows a bit short and fat (wider)...
any idea how I can fix this? I tried messing with the resolution and thats not the problem

All pics im viewing here at this site look short and fat as well...

Looks tall and skinny to me. What are the dimensions of the monitor and what resolution are you currently set at?

The pic looks about right, to me.

Sounds like the monitor might need a little adjustment.

Cards looks fine to me size ratio wise.

1280 x 1024 is not widescreen. I would suspect that is the problem.

Perhaps some glasses bigger would help.
