Can I make my monitor's display area smaller?
« on: August 15, 2006, 10:48:20 am »
Is there any way to shrink the viewable area in a monitor?  Maybe a tweak in windows or a setting on the monitor itself?  My bezel covers up the edges of the screen so when you are playing games like Pac-man the lives remaining and fruit at the bottom are cut in half...  I'd like to be able to view the entire screen... I'm using a Happs Vision Pro 19" monitor and the standard Happs bezel.

Any thoughts?

There should be a menu button on the front (maybe side) of your monitor. Push it and it will pop up some pretty self explanatory icons. It is really easy.

I don't think the the manual buttons on the side of the monitor are going to give him the required amount of sizing that he needs.  They will only allow you to downsize the image slightly.
Anyone have a solution for this fellow?
Galaga... Was there any other game?
