Hi all...Happy new Year

Right got my Indivision ECS Mk2 just before Christmas......now life has settled down im trying to set it up......I have a 800x900 set at the moment....nice crisp clear screen.....My monitor Specs.....

HP w2207h

Dimensions (WxDxH) 20.6 in x 11.4 in x 18.9 in.
Display Type. LCD monitor / TFT active matrix.
Aspect Ratio. 16:10.
Native Resolution. 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
Contrast Ratio. 1000:1 / 3000:1 (dynamic)
Controls & Adjustments. Brightness, contrast, input select.
Horizontal Viewing Angle. 160.
Pixel Pitch. 0.282 mm.

Now i would love to have a huge workbench...... I`ve been trying out the "pre set" screen modes and down sizing them to 1600x1050 60hz......but i keep getting "monitor signal out of range change to 1600x1050 60hz" is this possible ? (minimum 8 colours)

Thank you

See the monitor's horizontal (24-82 KHz) and vertical frequencies (48-76 Hz).

When you create a VGA mode or copy and change one, make sure that the resulting frequencies are in the range of that monitor.

Here are some settings that may work for 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz

horz_front_porch: 104

horz_sync_len: 184

horz_back_porch: 80

vert_front_porch: 1

vert_sync_len: 3

vert_back_porch: 33

Ok I have tried the above settings and still no joy....At one point i did get a full screen but the text on WB seemed Stretched and blurry/out of focus.....I guess the Amiga cannot output 1600x1080 60hz....Im not trying my other Monitor to see if i have any Joy.
