    Hello all!

    I have been trying for the past few days to get an external monitor connected to my GX660R. Using and HDMI cable I tried 3 different monitors. A Samsung 23", LG 23" and a 27" viewsonic. The only one that scales right is the LG, I want to use the 27" but no luck. When I go into the ATI control panel and set the scaling at 0% (which works for the LG) the picture wont snap to native resolution on the external monitor. All of the monitors are 1920x1080.

    This really has me annoyed and I am hoping that one of you can shed some light on this.

    Regards,

    Scott

    check the settings for the monitors themselves. Sometimes scaling has to be done on both the the PC and the monitor, putting them both on "native" or 0% scaling.
