1680x1050 Get Excited For The Season With 18 Ho...
It has a 5ms response time and 1000:1 contrast however try as I might I could never get it to display the stated optional display resolution of 1680x1050. I tried all the normal tricks but Windows always said it was a 'default monitor' it is supplied with a CD-Rom but every time I tried to run the software it told me it was not for this monitor and yes the CD clearly stated it was for the w2007v and the folders inside stated that as one of the models.

So I had to use the nearest option to 1680x1050 which is 1600x1200 initially the fonts looked slightly strange but the image was rock solid as everything seems fine. I watched several DVD's (it's a terrible job but someone's got to do it) and these seemed fine. As an experiment I tried going to the next higher resolution and was immediately met with an 'out of range' message and you should change to the optimal resolution of 1680x1050 which as stated is never offered by Windows. The HP site says that 60Hz is the maximum at that impossible resolution but it quite happily ran at 75Hz for me at 1600x1200 that my maths says is technically greater.
I was happy with the analogue only unit it worked well with a range of documents, graphics and as stated DVD's. The colour was good, contrast excellent and brightness over the whole panel consistent. My only puzzle is why - despite contacting HP for assistance without any answers - the 1680x1050 stated optimal resolution was not available. 1600x1200 is a greater overall resolution but not aimed at that shape of panel. Also my refresh rate of 75Hz should not be available but it is of course far kinder on the eye than 60Hz.
Disabling the option "Override the scaling mode" in NVCP the behaviour of dgVoodoo rescaler/stretcher is the same of AMD GPUs, now the "obvious one" with WIP18 (image stretched to fill all the monitor height).Enabling the option "Override the scaling mode" in NVCP the behaviour of dgVoodoo rescaler/stretcher is the old WIP17 one ?: dgVoodoo finds the closest (?!?!?) resolution (1680x1050), add the black bars and centers the frame (1680x1050 over 1920x1080).
I guess you have your desktop at 1920x1200. And, it seems the driver don't allow to switch the monitor to 1920x1200 but only to 1920x1080.I encountered similar with 1680x1050 vs 1680x1024 on my monitor earlier, but I don't know why it was. 041b061a72
