I don't know how to help you but I've read and I think you use matrox triple head or better graphic card.
That are supposed to manage multiple monitor.
What does graphic card forum web site said? How graphic cards handle the resolution for each monitor?
I meant every monitor is set to 1920x1200 or this resolution is divided for the trhee monitors?
Sorry I have only question and no answer

The graphiccards that I use is (motherboard):

Video card:

Monitors are set to 1200x1920 : (dell) 2560x1600 : (samsung)1200x1600.

It is very important with sharp monitors because these are used for software development. There isn't any problem with the other monitors, also I have another coputer that has one (hp)2560x1600 : (samsung)1200:1600 and there is no problem there. But the Lenovo's I have tested doesn't like it

Ok Gosh,
so you should use the d-sub of the motherboard and also the two dvi link of the graphic card. So you use d-sub 15 pin for the Dell and Dvi for the other two monitor.
Please not that if you use dvi with the Dell you should use it in dual link for that high resolution, or reducing the resolution on Dell.
In any way do you have problem with sharpness at the high resolution both in dvi adn d-sub mode.
If you tried also some other video card try contacting Lenovo support and  I'm sure they resolve you the problem quickly.

that's strange - now i'm using neutral preset, because srgb makes the picture reddish. on the first l220x (this one i'm using now is a replacement) srgb mode gave me the image that neutral gives me now.

anyone with the same issue?

Tried to photograph the "problem"

[Frydryce]

did you shoot in manual mode or is the lenovo really that much darker than the dell? 

my lenovo is nice and sharp for text and photographs that i edit.  have you tried putting your monitor on someone else's computer DVI connection for comparison?  there could always be the possibility you got a fluke and should just get an RMA.  It really is an awesome monitor, and finding the one bad apple in the bucket shouldn't deter you from getting another.  i truely love my display.

Hi all!

This thread was my guide to buy this monitor, and i must say thank you all for making it usefull.

 Some were concerned about 1:1 pixel mapping,... well have no fear, nvidia is here.

Setup

1600x1200

1600x1200 pattern

and it can go all down to 800x600


I love every part of this monitor, but!

I got one issue, and i beliave it isn't related to monitor itself.

When im watching (so far not whatcing ) movie (any player), my monitor just "sink" down, randomly.
Sometime it happends for just 1min or 5min...
I tried windowed and fullscreen, it's same
And to fix that i must reset my resolution.

 "oh noo its sinking!"

Cheers!

how to enter hidden service menu in L220x ?

Hey folks.

Can someone with a NVidia graphics card run a little test for me? Set the resolution to 1920x1080 and turn on the nvidia scaling with a fixed aspect ratio. When I do that the drivers automagically switch to using the displays native scaling and scales the picture full screen. Trying to figure out if it's a driver problem or something else.

Can I connect an Xbox 360 to this monitor through vga and get 1920x1080 without stretching the image?
