Thank you! Thank You! I went to the resolution settings twenty times but never scrolled to the top to see the actual recommended resolution. I watched your video and had it fixed in twenty seconds. Thanks much and good day from Atlanta Ga

I've recently upgraded my motherboard and now have stretched images? (Downgraded to 32bit too)?
The Nvidia graphics card was considered adequate for my usage, now I've retired from photography. I've tried all three suggestions for my old LG TV screen, (not changed), but nothing seems to work?
