The pics will stretch if the aspect ratio of the new monitor is different than the old one. That LG monitor has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is gradually becoming the standard for monitors and tvs. All the old monitors (and tvs) had 4:3 aspect ratios. When you switch to a "widescreen" LCD monitor from a 4:3 aspect ration monitor you'll also need to switch screen resolution to make it look right.
All these LCD monitors will look best when screen resolution is set to the native resolution of the monitor. For a 4:3 15" it's usually 1024x768, for a 17" usually 1280x1024, for 19" usually 1600x1200, etc. If you aren't sure which resolution is native try changing them around ... one of them will be clearly more sharp and look better than the others and nothing will be stretched.

B-ski it may not fit, the ramblin ranch has grown sense the version I sent you. Here is what it has metamorphosed into now. This is version 20 I think, kinda lost count, you know "I can't stop inventin', designin' and building stuff"..... even the new 4+ acre lake is beginning to look to small now. I think I'm going for a 15 to 20 acre one next.

Rockytopper, If you use this Redneck Flatscreen, you should have no problems fitting it in your house.

rockytopper, I think you have the disease...it's SMDMS. a.k.a.the 6 Million Dollar Man Syndrome....with today's technology, ideas are unlimited, just plug them ! Your Ramblin Ranch looks just like my cabin will be, I hadn't thought about adding on the building addition, walkway, and guest quarters, nice touch ! p.s. I modified your version for my layout...the bathrooms have been removed, (poker tables there) everyone goes outdoors. This strategy limits the lond term comfort factor for women The kitchen is only a pot belly cast iron stove, (everything is cooked on the BBQ or deep fried outside). No utility room, (bar goes there). The front garage has the refrigerator with beer, freezer has wild game. The back garage is for 4-wheelers & open-sided, with a shooting range to the West, fishing pier to the right

Rockytopper- Okay, the price should be no worry with this piece of technology. Here are a few more Redneck engineering ideas for your new castle: You can save some money and install your own hot water heater, Who needs a grill, here is a great recycling idea from "Redneck Co", a take off of Ronco, Of course that grill comes with a free set of cooking utensils: You don't want to waste inside space with a wood stove do you? Here is a great outdoor furnace: You and your buddies heard over the scanner that a big storm is comming, better take shelter in your storm shelter: After the storm, you need to survey your pond and property for damage. You get into your state-of-the-art seaplane: After review of the damage, you file a claim. It is about time you check the mail for the check to repair those ponds where the dam broke: Once all the repairs are done, it is time to take off and attend the Pond Boss Conference in TX:

Durn it, the pitchfork I use to cook the kids hotdogs at the pond is only a four pronger. That guy has a 13 pronger.
