What setting do you have for Graphics in SL Preferrences for a HD w/s monitor?
I refer to the Display Resolution, Aspect ratio, run in window and auto-detect.

Of course anything ealse I should check please advise me, I'm conected DVi to HDMi.
Thanks

I always have "run in window" checked, so the other settings don't make any difference. If you really, really want to run full-screen, I believe the other settings will set themselves to the screen resolution if you set auto-detect and restart the viewer. (You can use other numbers, but anything other than the native resolution of the display will look pretty dreadful).

Probably the most important thing is already done, which is outside of the viewer itself: setting the screen resolution to match the native resolution of the display.

Oh, one other thing: if the screen is way more pixels than what you were using before from the same graphics card, you may notice a reduction in viewer frame rate. Then it's a trade-off between screen real estate (window size) and performance.

i got a 22 w/s as well, its so awesome makes SL so so so much better


you should download the windlight viewer and let it 'auto' set the settings for you.

when i get home i can check my settings and let ya know but it should just figure it out automaticly and look amazing


good luck :)

I have a 24" moniter.....SL is incredible with it! I never even adjusted the settings when I downloaded SL to it.......it just always ran fine in full screen mode. *shrugs* You definitely have to get windlight now....it'll look spectacular with that screen~!!!
