I just picked up two "Sceptre X7SV-Naga 17" LCD Monitor with TV Tuner". When I bought it, I had the understanding that I would be able to set the resolution to what its specification says: 1280 x 768 (which is 16:9). But the best I can get out of any of the monitors I have is 1028 x 768 (which is 4:3). That means that I have 2 black bars on each side of my monitor. I have tried both DVI and VGA through an ADC to VGA converter, and I can only max out at 1028 X 768.

I am running: Dual 2Ghz G5 w/ 10.2.8

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
