I have an old old HP monitor that is indeed 1050. If I send it 1080, it could work or it could have issues. So I stick to it's documented settings. Tell more.
OK so i've searched online and havent been able to find anyone with quite the same issue. The image on my computer is wavy. when I lower the resolution to 1680 x 1050 everything is fine, no waves. 1920 x 1080 is wavy but it goes away intermittently. Strangely when I play games on this resolution there are no waves. it's so wierd I can't figure it out. I went into nvidia controls and switched it from 1680 x 1050 back up to 1920 x 1080 and it was fine for about half an hour but it's back to the wavy screen again
