Recently one of the visitor had a problem with his Dell LCD monitor(model 1503FP). The brightness of the screen was too high as a result of which the websites with light background were not legible and could hardly read the words on the site.
This document http://support.ap.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/929px/en/controls.htm helped him resolve his problem.

The key concept while building websites is either they will be of fixed width or will have floating width pages. More explanation here : http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/fixedvsrelative.shtml
So basically if the site you are visiting has fixed page width, there is nothing much that can be done about it.

May 12, 2009 at 7:38 amI recently purchased a Dell flat Panel E2209W (22″)
I am using Windows Vista (Home Basic)
I must be missing something with maximizing a website to the maximum 22″ (or at least close to it).
Some people have told me that certain websites will not fill to a screen of that size.
I find that hard to believe that there should be approximately 3 inches of unused screen space on each side. It now becomes a 16″ monitor. Some of the same sites I view at work is on a 19″ monitor, and that views perfectly. I would be happy with even being close to that size. I played around with “Zoom” feature and font size, but I don’t think that is my answer. There is some distortion with those features.
There must be something to do to maximize the viewing area!!
I would appreciate any help!! Thank you in advance!!!!
