I'm hoping this is the right location for this question. I'm on my second new LCD monitor and I've noticed that if I use backgrounds with objects that have cirlces the circles are slightly longer top to bottom rather than being true circles. I first noticed that even rond icons were slightly off when the monitor was not in it's native resolution. That problem was resolved by going to the native resolution of 1280 by 1024, but the problem about desktop backgrounds remains the same either way. I have read that apparently lcd monitors use other than the aspect ratio that was on my old crt and this causes this problem. I would think there would be a way to compensate for this or edit the individual background files if nothing else. The first monitor this was occurring on was a 17" samsung 740b and the one I'm on now that also does it is a Dell 1905fp 19" lcd monitor. I tried a couple of different video cards and that makes no change. It's definitely the difference between the lcd monitors and the crts. Hope someone has a fix for this other than buying a different monitor. I know thousands of both of these LCDs have been sold so someone should have come up with an answer by now.
Thanks for the Help
