Anyone using a widescreen lcd monitor?
(OP)
Yesterday we upgraded to HP 24" LCD widescreen monitors. Is anyone using wide screen monitors? And if so, how do you adjust the aspect ratio? Currently, my circles look somewhat eliptical. My current monitor setttings are 1600 x 1200, and we are using NX 3.0.5.3. Thanks.

We recently had some Benq monitors and had the same problem.
The fix was to make sure the resolution was set to 1920x1200.
We are running NX4 but I believe they had some of them befroe we upgraded.
We don't have to do the manual "fudge" in the visualisation.
It may be different for your monitor but I would suggest playing with different resolutions and make sure your drivers are installed for the monitor.

1600x1200 resolution is for an aspect ratio of 4:3 (try to divide 1600 by 1200...
A widescreen monitor has an aspect ratio of 16:9 or similar (there exist lots of variations on this theme...): one of the possible combinations is 1920x1200 as suggested, though it's not the most usual.
Any ratio between columns and rows different than the aspect ratio of the screen surface will give "non-square" pixels, and thus call for the need of the software calibration in NX.
