A Client has a HP HPw2007v wide screen monitor.  Some web sites are
displayed across the full width of the screen yet others occupy just (about)
the middle third of the screen.  What would be the cause of this and how can
it be resolved please?

Regards.

Caused by the way the site is programmed.
Live with it of write to the Webmaster.

Thanks Frank.  That was my initial thought.  However, my Client reports
that, of his two computers each with a wide screen monitor, one will display
certain web pages across the middle third of the screen whilst the other
will display the same web page(s) OK.  Any other ideas?  If the cause is a
configuration issue all web pages would be displayed in the middle third or
full width not just some.  If the cause was in the web sites they would be
displayed consistently across both computers.

On reflection, my statement << If the cause is a configuration issue all web
pages would be displayed in the middle third or full width not just some>>
That argument is flawed if wide screen monitors can be optionally configured
to spread web pages (programmed to be displayed in the 'square' aspect
ratio) to the full width.  That is one way there could be a difference
between the two systems.  I appreciate this is more of a hardware question
but do wide screen monitor software have this facility?

Thanks

I don't know.  I said what I think and that's it until I see a site that
comes up differently on one of my computers.
