nVidia 6800 resolution on a 20.1 monitor

the monitor didn't come with a disk. I checked the website and they
didn't supply one. It is a Westinghouse LCM-20v5. Any idea on where to
get the .inf?

According to their web site:

"Note regarding LCD Drivers
Since Westinghouse LCD TVs and Monitors are plug-and-play devices, they do
not require any drivers. If your computer is unable to display at the
recommended resolution, please check your graphics card to see if it
supports the recommended resolution. You can periodically check the graphics
card manufacturer's website for any updates."



So it looks like you've done the right thing to get it set up.

Strange...my Acer 24" lcd came with a driver disc.

I know. I have never had a monitor without a disk. I did follow nVidia's
guidelines to set it up. Maybe there will be a download from their site
soon. I may email them to find out for sure. Thank you for your help.

Won't cause any damage. No point changing refresh rate as the image is
created differently on an LCD to a CRT so there is no benefit. Stick with
60hz and all will be well.

I would be on the phone with support...telling them about the issue...If the
tech person can't help you, ask for the supervisor. My option that's not
expectable.
I have a 6800gt/LG 20" Widescreen and my settings are 1680 x 1050....my
monitor didn't come with a disk however, I was able to d/l the inf file from
LG web site.

good luck
