And can't tell which display mode you used. That is "extend my desktop" or just mirroring what's on the laptop LCD.
Here's my laptop driving a fairly big display -> http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w146/rproffitt2000/?action=view¤t=desktop2.jpg
If I tried to mirror the display you could imagine I would have all sorts of stretch issues.

I just bought a new Samsung SyncMaster P2250. Native resolution is 1920x1080. I connected it to my laptop yesterday via a docking station. It all worked perfectly. Resolution was correct, wide screen aspect ratio was correct. In fact, it was working perfectly until I rebooted this morning.
Today, it starts with two large black bands either side of the display. When I change the screen resolution to 1920x1080 (display-properties-settings) the image gets stretched across the screen. When I change the monitor display from 'wide' to 'auto', I'm back to a having the display with two large dark bands either side.
I have removed and readded the Samsung display driver. This doesn't help. I've adjusted the HW acceleration rate and refresh rate this doesn't help either
As the display worked correctly yesterday, and not today, what has happened in the mean time??
