not a real pc person but i think it should be set to 640x480 but someone else here will know better

I always wonder why people first start shouting out their complaints about a product on a public forum, trying to give a brand/company a bad name, and only THEN they contact the seller/company.

And then to discover they screw up themselves.....you owe Rick an apology.
