1:1 pixel mapping, Dell 2407 ao4 users.......

[Things change I've changed]

Panel : Dell 2407 rev ao4 (connected via DVI)

Driver version : 163.71

GPU : 8800gtx

OS : XP


Hello guys, since owning my Dell 2407wfp rev a04 I've never been able to use the 1:1 pixel mapping option on my panel when windows is loaded, before windows loads I can access and change the 'Wide Mode' option to 1:1 but as soon as the desktop appears the option is greyed out and it reverts back 'Fill', I go into the nvidia control panel and the scaling option is setup as so,



has anyone else got this problem also ?, can you guys access your 'Wide Mode' option (in display settings in your panel menu) once windows has loaded ?.

where in control panel is that screenshot does it work with hdmi ?

If your runing at 1920x1200 then 'fill' is the only option that makes sence. Thats the native resolution of the panel, so fill and 1:1 are identical.

If you switch to a lower resolution, then you'll have the choise of how you want it to display. 1:1 at 1650x1080 will obviously give black borders on all sides for example.

Exactly the same here, not that I understand or care about 1:1 pixel mapping.

try lowering the res and see if the option re appears, or even try "do not scale" on the nvidia thing if that doesnt work

cheers it's working now, that had me stumped for ages, I did'nt know you had to lower the resolution first to be able to use the option.
