    Hi All

    Just got a new wide screen 24"x 19" without thinking of the impact on how I would see things, in this format I now see round logo’s as slight oval logo’s, do you think I should just replace it again and stick with the old style 20"X20" format or bigger, or maybe even two screens side by side.

    Thanks a for all your help and advise

    Paul 😀

    Sounds like the settings need tweaking – I could be wrong but a circle should be round no matter what screen you view it on

    have a fiddle with your settings, I agree with john, but i must say i have had two screens for the last 8 years and am a big fan!! 1 screen for the artboard and then all the tool palettes on another screen!!

    Hi there, i had the same problem! Someone was using the computer when i was away and they had slightly worse eyesight then me so they were altering the screen resolution by right clicking on the desktop area and going into moniter settings.

    The resolution they had it on had the wrong proportions of height to width ratio of displayed pixels or whatever it was. Everything looked bigger and too wide, so i just altered the display settings and it’s back to normal.

    You should always run a LCD in it’s native resolution, otherwise you’ll have a bad pixel ration and get odd looking pixels etc.
