LCD Monitor utility
« on: July 13, 2007, 02:43:48 pm »

I just bought a Viewsonic 22 Wide monitor.   Very nice view.  I'm color calibrating it now. I love it.

When I view photos in Literoom the pics are stretched across the screen for wide view,  I would like to find a utility to switch the aspect ratio to standard screen when photo editing.  I don't care that the sides would be black when editing.

Anybody seen anything??

What screen resolution are you running?  It sounds as though you're running it at a 4:3 (i.e., non-widescreen) ratio res.  You should find out what the monitor's native res is (it'll be something more or less equivalent to 1.6:1 I believe) and run it that way.  It'll be a lot sharper that way also.
