I changed monitors yesterday. The fact that one speaker (they’re built in on this Packard-Bell monitor) doesn’t work I can ascribe to the monaural Y-connector I plugged into the single speaker jack on the back of the console; but the desktop picture seems lightly tinted, and the icons and such (including the 100% view on MS works) are slightly larger. To makle matters worse, the screen is smaller than on the monitor I was using before. Is there any way to adjust these things? 😕
